Wabi-Sabi

"Wabi-Sabi is a Zen Buddhist aesthetic philosophy, relating not just to art & objects but to the whole of life.

Imperfection is one of the governing aesthetic tenets of Wabi-Sabi. Nature is seen to be flawed, ever-changing, decaying, unpredictable and yet simple. It is in this nature-based model of imperfection that Wabi-Sabi finds beauty.

Wabi-Sabi is more than just physical aesthetics; however, it is a whole belief system and lifestyle practice. It is a nature based ideology which has an appreciation for a beauty of things imperfect, impermanent and incomplete. It is an unconventional aesthetic which yearns for the modest and humble (Koren, 1994, p7-9)

Because Wabi-Sabi comes from a Buddhist world view there is no distinction between ugliness and beauty, it is a non-dualistic perspective encompassing a non ego-based intuition, regarding beauty as a magical event that happens from within as an experience of Wabi-Sabi rather than as an intellectualised descriptive idea of beauty and ugliness. Perhaps Wabi-Sabi could almost be seen as an anti-aesthetic, rejecting the traditional ideals of classical beauty in favour of the freer opinions of an enlightened state of mind.

Wabi-Sabi is an intuitive appreciation of a transient beauty in the physical world that reflects the irreversible flow of life in the spiritual world. It is an understated beauty that exists in the modest, rustic, imperfect or even decayed, an aesthetic that finds melancholy beauty in the impermanence of all things" (Juniper, 2003, p51)

"I acknowledge that common everyday objects are precious gems" (Berger and Hawthorne, 2006, p8)

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

What a cool post, I did not consider that you can find some thing the following. A pleasant surprise, it takes place almost never, but right here we can speak of the genuine added worth towards reader. Annoy me about blogs typically amateurish write-up without having excellent type and with errors. Below I am pleasantly amazed. Hopefully make it to some authors, and compose for their readers and not to have something on the web.

Hi - very good web site you have established. I enjoyed reading this posting. I did want to issue a comment to tell you that the design of this site is very aesthetically pleasing.

When my twins were born 16 months ago, I wanted to have a new cam corder to capture every one of the beautiful moments with them. I don’t know if there were FLIP available on the market at the time, but no one had informed me regarding it. So i got another camcorder but I had a difficult time to convert the videos on my PC in order to see them and I couldn’t share any videos with my family and friends. And I thought it was small! Now I've the FLIP and this is the best! I really like my FLIP! It’s user friendly and we were surprised about the quality of the videos! I just wish I had had it before!
