I see wabi sabi on nostr today and I like it. Nostr feels that way to me.

When I built my house a few years ago we used Japanese yaki sugi to clad the house. It involved taking the cedar and charring each board by hand. It was laborious to do for thousands of pieces. There is no paint or stain and the result of this method that no two pieces of wood are same and none are perfectly uniform. This is a huge contrast to the perfect boring exteriors of McMansions in neighborhood nearby. Some love it and many hate it.

Some of the wood that is more exposed to the elements already shows signs of aging. The wind, sun, rain, and snow transforms each piece differently. With time the patina will change as the wood chips and fades. The brilliant black is impermanent and it will gray just like I am graying.

To me this is an example wabi sabi and the beauty of impermanence and imperfection.

Nostr with its lack of edit function, inability to delete, and the resulting publishing of mistakes feels like another. https://nostr.build/av/1b8b5ebc66ef6991ddffdb6cb59cae402b1320cdbf2fefb4ad264e7665b432e2.mov
