"There is a lot of beauty even in a flower when it has withered, not just when it is fresh and lush. The expression Wabi Sabi is a way of living life and looking at reality that gives value back to what would otherwise be considered lost, wrong, and powerless. The charm of the ancient, the rustic and the rough, an elegance that shows itself without being intrusive, a concept of beauty aware of the natural change of events and people."

"Embracing this practice actually helps a lot at a time when the flow of society requires everyone to be perfect and performing. It allows you to lead a life in harmony with the rhythms of nature. You learn to go with the flow, to accept change and transience."
