The season of winter is full of opportunities. It’s a time of rest, stillness, silence and reflection. When we develop ‘a mind of winter’, a wabi-sabi mind we find beauty in the barest of places. 

My wife went to the corner shop to pick up a few bits and came back with a gift for me, a squashed tin can. That’s odd, you might think, but not remarkable, that is till you hear the next part of the story…

I think I have 'aesthetic sensitivity disorder'!

Looking for the wabi-sabi aesthetic in Eddie the Van.

The wabi-sabi state of mind is one that ‘coaxes beauty out of ugliness’. For me, it’s become a metaphor for insight.
