Sabi

Sabi
Sabi means 'rust'. Plain and simple. The 'patina of age', the deteriorating effect on things caused when oxygen and water mix together. Oxidation, disintegration.  I love the edges, folds, patterns and color tones of this rusty, little sculpture at St. Andrew's Cathedral in Grand Rapids.

end of summer
the rust on my scissors
smells of marigolds
