Between the cracks

between the cracks

I seem to be looking down lately, perhaps it is a state of mind that is carefully considering the next steps I am to take. This crack in the roadside near Bondi Rd at Bondi caught my eye. It was the gentle green moss in the curb and the texture of the concrete which appeared to be crumbling. An arrangement of leaves and bark and grasses appeared to have gathered themselves as an adorning overlay for the cracks.

 From a distance and it appeared to have some of the Wabi Sabi order of beauty that is found in decay and deterioration. So I decided to take a closer look to enjoy the arrangement and the cracks.

Yesterday I stumbled upon this crack in town on Hay Street not far from Central station. The delicate moss was creating another layer of texture as an adornment.

I began to observe closely the different sections of the moss and concrete and felt a sense of delight in the beauty that appeared as nature found a way to make use of the opportunity that the decay afforded.
