Definitely he's WS (this could become the new catch phrase:)<BR/>My vote, Christopher Walken.<BR/><BR/>These thoughts on WS quoted from Wikipedia...<BR/><BR/>>Andrew Juniper claims, "if an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi." Richard R. Powell summarizes by saying "It (wabi-sabi) nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."<<BR/><BR/>Now I really have to buy this book, darn it!:)Christine Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058419743726981987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-23404001672987935222008-09-30T10:44:00.000-04:002008-09-30T10:44:00.000-04:00Yes, absolutely I think a face can be wabi sabi!

I think my favorite example was Steve Buscemi.alvinalinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503984086482905226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-38180282334809475562008-09-30T10:14:00.000-04:002008-09-30T10:14:00.000-04:00although I have to add that Peter and Tracy are no...although I have to add that Peter and Tracy are no longer dating<BR/><BR/>uh.... so does this mean he is available?:)<BR/><BR/>What a great "Part 2" Alvina. I always love hearing all that happens behind the scenes (behind for me, not for you obviously)<BR/>How books come into being and I, of course, like hearing the tales of illustrators that sway the final vote of to publish or not when it may have gone either way.<BR/>While you were discribing the animals explanations of wabi sabi, I was suddenly struck by the thought, could a parents face be wabi sabi? As an adult, I would look on my mothers face, full of many imperfections, features that may never have been classified as classic, skin wrinkled and worn... and yet it was so beautiful to me.<BR/>You know no other person would see that same beauty other then yourself.<BR/> I love the whole idea of this book, I believe your right, I am sure it would have eventually found a publisher, if the author had wanted to persue it, but obviously not such a GOOD home:)Christine Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058419743726981987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-13948134128443829072008-09-30T09:35:00.000-04:002008-09-30T09:35:00.000-04:00I love the lyrics too and they fit so well with yo...I love the lyrics too and they fit so well with your post.
