veneer of life

ancient nails
hold worn-out planks together
bleeding rust



One of the many statues in our neighbours' garden, well...more of a park.



wind, rain and sand
mould years into wisdom
and beauty




Wabi Sabi:
A kind of beauty that exists in weathered or worn objects that contain deep patterns, patina, character, or qualities of authentic individuality. Once you appreciate such beauty you recognize that nothing is perfect, nothing lasts, and nothing is finished.

I imagine there's not much left to those nails at all, and yet they persist.
