Spring

This coming spring will show if I have treated, pruned right our apple and pear trees.

The pear tree cut branches replaced in vases, are overwhelming beautiful now with white blossoms! Outside the temperature is still colder, the flowers are not yet out.

Another day I saw a big bee zooming in the garden.

The days are longer, the sun shines in the morning from our back doors and windows through our house, it is heart warming.

Hope the neighbors don't build a wall there, the side where the sun shines most.

I wish we save the warm essence of this house, enlighten with our beloved sunshine.

Today I read a book called 'Wabi-Sabi' from Leonard Koren.

I was surprised I did not know what it means, at least conscious, I thought first, wasabi? no, it means a Japanese aesthetic, " beauty of things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete... It is a beauty of things unconventional..."

Strange was that without knowing the existence of this word, it was familiar, because of my mother's ceramic in Japanese style made many years ago when I was a child. Natural style, colors, a bit ruffle, simple, beautiful. I have seen before other Japanese objects in this style somewhere. In my unconscious mind, I recognized wabi-wabi in my deep kern.

Funny how a word can fish in one net,

more inner sides than I knew myself it where swimming there.
