The term Wabi-Sabi comes from two Japanese words and refers to that which is imperfect, aged, humble and authentic. Both nature and human made objects may have wabi-sari qualities. Wabi-Sabi is an esthetic that values the passing of time and the elements, the handmade and the simple. Wabi-Sabi is a way of being open to emotion and acceptance. Wabi-Sabi is a state of mind and a state of feeling.   -- Serena Barton
