Mastering Wabi-Sabi

I read the book about Wabi-Sabi. I liked it. It was a little difficult to get to understand what Wabi-sabi meant, but I guess that it is normal since my friends from Japan couldn’t explain it to me. The closest to a definition I was was “elegant simplicity”. I understand the idea of the arts in the details and the beauty of the ugliness because I believe in that. It doesn’t catch my attention big piece of arts or well-advertised exhibitions. I couple of years ago, I famous Argentine artist broke a glass in TV and said that that was art. I wonder if she wasn’t the Wabi-Sabi master of Argentina.
I have been concerned about my projects for class since I have never deal with any creative activity. Economics is much simple and predictable. However, Wabi-Sabi is part of my philosophy so you can understand why I couldn’t continue working with numbers. I remember when my boss fired me and rehired me 15 days after. He asked why I was working so efficiently after he had fired me and I answered that I was happy to leave the company. He wanted me to stay and I said that the only way I would stay was if he could make me happy. I stayed but he failed to make me happy so I quit, finished my school and came to New York.
At the end of December I will be in Buenos Aires and I may visit him. If he asks me what happened, I will answer:” Wabi-Sabi man, nothing else”.
