Wabi-Sabi

Perfect in its imperfection!

I have been searching for this word, and today, it popped up in the NYT Mini Puzzle!

I first learned of this idea in a pottery class.

An intentional dent or ding was the suggestion forwarded by my instructor.

I never did carch the name of the philosophy until now.

It is how we should embrace life.

Perfect in its imperfections.

It is a balance. Perfect because of its imperfection.

It is an intentional contradiction.
