Imperfect, impermanent, incomplete.  The Buddhist doctrine of impermanence and the Japanese aesthetic of wabi sabi inform much of our life and our works.  We strive for perfection; perfection does not exist.  We seek beauty; beauty is fleeting.  Transience is the only constant.  Wabi sabi nurtures all that would be with three simple truths:  nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect.
