Wabi — Sabi

(nothing lasts. nothing is finished. nothing is perfect)

It’s okay to be imperfect,

Celebrating cracks that disconnect.

All the marks that are left behind,

Time will help them beautifully unwind.

Accept what comes to you naturally,

And let that mind think rationally.

Let us find peace in growth and decay,

Not everything is black or white but grey.

Finding flaws is always going to be easy,

Let them imperfections pass breezy.

We all are in an imperfect state of flux,

Being judgmental can never be a plus.

Find endings that make beginnings beautiful,

That is all it takes to make peace irrefutable.

Passage of time makes the cocoon a 나비, (nabi — butterfly)

There is nothing more beautiful than Wabi — Sabi.

Wabi — Sabi: The Japanese art of finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting the natural cycle of growth and decay. Celebrating cracks, crevices, and all other marks that time, weather and love leave behind.
