holding loosely all we love
on an open wing...
"Practising the dharma means living our lives always in search of ‘The Middle Way’. This middle way is not a compromise between extremes, but a transcending of them. For example, looking for a middle way between attachment and aversion doesn’t mean seeing everything as ‘so so’, but actually learning to fully enjoy life without any sense of holding on.
Wabi-sabi, too, looks for this transcending middle. As Leonard Koren says ‘it’s the delicate balance between the pleasure we get from things and the pleasure we get from the freedom from things.’ "
Vajradarshini
