American wabi sabi

American Wabi Sabi is a book of poems inspired by the natural shape our lives take over time. The poems are inspired by nature and family and disappearing in plain sight. Like a piece of wood that grays and fades from the elements silently over time, the wood takes on a different essence, its original color fades but a silvery white hue emerges, and the texture of the wood becomes almost feathery and smooth to the touch. Is the wood the same or is it now something different and unknowable even as the eye stops seeing it? This is the bittersweet beauty of a thing, of anything as it endures its place on this earth.
