A Quote To Begin
“In a culture that often rushes to completion and perfection, Wabi-Sabi celebrates the beauty of the unfinished. It allows us to see potential in the incomplete, the process rather than just the end result.”
In your notebook, choose one prompt to explore...
"The beauty of the unfinished." Pull this line into your notebook. Allow it to be the opening for your writing today. Let your words flow. Simply explore what comes up.
What does "the beauty of the unfinished" feel like for you? What life experiences come to mind? Is there anything you can let be unfinished? How might this bring peace? A feeling of content?
Imagine walking in nature. How does "the beauty of the unfinished" manifest here? What are the lessons we can learn?
