The question this lays in front of Christians is this - do we wanted to be shaped by a consumerist style of beauty of the world or by God's Wabi-sabi style of purging beauty? To appreciate this sparse spiritual beauty one has to step away from one's frenzied narcissistic time into deep time which is the realm that God operates in slowly, patiently, Wabi-sabi style, removing all that is non-essential, charging us with a new Christ-like character, created through purging beauty!
