Shibumi



Shibumi:
Objects and experiences that exhibit in paradox and all at once the best of everything and nothing. 
Elegant simplicity. 
Effortless effectiveness. 
Understated elegance. 
Beautiful imperfection.

    That made me stop for a moment on my Internet wanderings Deb, thought-provoking shot and the poem is perfect with it.

    What a beautiful quote to go along with the photo. It's bittersweet... I really like it, and the shot is really nice - I like the angle you've taken. Thanks for visiting me :)

    Shibumi- new word. Love it. I had the same experience today. I got up and looked outside and saw something on the porch that needed investigating. it ended up it was just a pile of rose petals.
