what inspired this thread friend?
What are the characteristics of wabi sabi?
Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.
“What inspired this thread?” In becoming we are often led to what we need ( ...and if we have desire for truth and understanding not necessarily what we think we need and want.) So perhaps I have a need to accept things they way they are with all their imperfections.
Reading something I was led to it and it resonated with me.
‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But also in the art of Wabi-Sabi. The acceptance of the beauty that is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. According to Japanese aesthetics.’
It’s really difficult to know where help and inspiration will come from. And the universe is not confined to help us and advise us from our own view of ourselves nor our own preferences-ideologically speaking- best to let the universe help us in its terms and not our own. That way we can leave behind our own worn out paradigms and prejudice. Who needs to be a sleeper and a psychological antique?

Is to recognize even as friends we may have views that polarize our friendship. However since we also have a unifying purpose we need to find novel ways of wisdom in approaching the differences that have manifested. This appears to me to be our dharma Eric. Wabi Sabi is a approach that recognizes things as they are and accepts them.
Where did wabi sabi come from?
Originating in Taoism during China's Song dynasty (960-1279) before being passed onto Zen Buddhism, wabi-sabi was originally seen as an austere, restrained form of appreciation.
