Wabi-Sabi

Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese view that things/people/experiences are beautiful and perfect in their imperfection.

What can you relate this to in your life?

We are often so critical of ourselves for not meeting unrealistic standards; for not being perfect. For being flawed.

Today can you harness the viewpoint of Wabi-Sabi in your own life? Perhaps this is a chance for you to see your life and your self as you truly are, cracks and all. And in this perspective, actually love the cracks; be thankful for the cracks; treat the cracked parts as beautiful, as valuable, and as crucial to your being.

Think Like A Tree

Those of you who know me well know my fascination and love for trees. I wanted to share this poem with you today by Karen I. Shragg:

Think Like A Tree

Soak up the sun
Affirm life's magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling
