Losing my religion

I am losing my religion.

Sakura madness has diverted my faith. The faith that I have held onto for as long as I can remember. The faith that I have vowed never to let go regardless of anything.

I have betrayed the spirit of Minimalism.

I have betrayed Rationalism. I have betrayed Order. I have betrayed Stability, Purity, Modernism, Function.

Ornaments are a sin against humanity. As a practicing landscape architect sometime ago, I (as influenced by my mentor, alanis) was a reductionist and had believed that anything excessive is a sin. Simplicity is the rule. Industrial is beauty. Identity is an unneeded luxury. De-personalization is the ultimate goal.

I have sinned.
