Among the teachings of the Stoics is the ephemeral nature of life and the passing of time. The followers of Wabi-Sabi in the Orient recognize the impermanence, imperfection and incompleteness of all things. The Poet Kate Ryan writes of the "joy of finding lost things." And Carly Simon in "Anticipation" sings that she "will stay right here because these are the good old days."
