Harmony.

Georgia O'Keeffe, Black and Purple Petunias
It is to live with a refined attention to detail -- the flowers of the season, the sound of water poured onto stone, the time at which evening turns to dusk -- not because these things will enlarge the self, but because they bring our lives into harmony with that which transcends self.
- Okakura, The Book of Tea
