Dessicated Beauty

Next week the DarkRoomers are taking on the theme of wabi-sabi. Wabi-sabi is a Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in the imperfections and transience of nature and to embrace flaws and 'rawness'.

For more information this is an interesting read and here are five teachings and neither from Wiki!!
