A Practice in Wabi-Sabi

WabiSabiHair

I am just about two months in to dreadlocking my hair. It is a daily reminder of my commitment to Wabi-Sabi - finding the beauty in that which is perfectly imperfect. I could go into details about how individual locks are starting to marry each other for life at the roots - and more than a few are straight-up having a pretty fierce orgy with each other that I have to go in and break up with force. But I won't. Instead I'll say this - my hair is imperfect, impermanent and incomplete but I think it's pretty beautiful.

    I JUST posted about wabi-sabi re: my house today, and linked back to that original post! Amazing (like your hair).

    Literally within the next hour after meeting you for coffee in January I created a word for my year too. I have carried it and used it in my actions every day. Thank you for the inspiration. You are beautiful.
