Wabi-Sabi

Volume · Leonard Koren · 6 passages

  1. Pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry. Keep things clean and unencumbered, but don’t sterilize. Emotionally warm, never cold.

  2. Sober, modest, heartfelt intelligence

    Wabi-Sabi

  3. Intimate —small and compact, quiet, and inward-oriented. Get close, touch, relate.

    Wabi-Sabi

  4. Wabi-sabi state of mind is often communicated through poetry, because poetry lends itself to emotional expression and strong, reverberating images that seem “larger” than the small verbal frame that holds them.

  5. Unpretentious. Understated and unassuming, yet not without presence nor quiet authority.

    Wabi-Sabi

  6. It is best if the creator is of no distinction, invisible, or anonymous.
