Real Beauty of Imperfection
Imperfection is real beauty
Food for imagination
Ego with humility
Life with curiosity
True soul in humanity
Ikebana is the art of Japanese flower arrangement.
There are strict rules in how and what to be arranged. I studied from a Japanese teacher from Ohara School of Ikebana. I followed the rules and learned the rules. Along the way, I have found the beauty of Ikebana is not the way the rules apply but the philosophy. I understand while I look at every flower and every leaf with respect.
When we believe that something is perfect. We stop searching for anything else; we shut our perception for any alternative. We allow ego to play significant role. Ego is good; it helps increase energy and drive. Too much of it, we lose respect to others. Ikebana teaches me to respect every twig of flower, every branch of leaves and trees. For me they represent each life experience. It is not always perfect, but full of stories to be explored. If we are open-minded enough and curious enough to learn.
