Discovering Wabi-Sabi in Nature

My day began with an invitation from a friend to join a hot yoga session. Stepping out of the warm, tranquil studio into the crisp air felt like being pulled back into reality, but the clear blue sky was invigorating.

In the afternoon, I ventured out for a trail walk and stumbled upon a scene that felt like a living piece of kare-sansui—a Japanese rock garden. The marsh, touched by melting snow, was adorned with ripples of ice, forming patterns as delicate as brushstrokes. To encounter the essence of wabi-sabi in such a place was a serene and unexpected gift.
