Wonderful talk, thanks for sharing! I searched TED for some talks on tea a while back, but I came up empty handed.

Wabi-Sabi is a good consolation for failed workpiece :lol: J/K

It just goes down to "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", it's that simple don't let anyone tells you otherwise :lol:

edit: I think many do understand the concept of Wabi-sabi, but not that practical in modern lifestyles. It's just like I find great beauty in the gentle flow of water pouring off a teapot, but I'm too impatient to wait for it...

Some might disagree, but it's cool, not everyone is the same :lol:
