simplicity and experience

i like cermonial events,
but i don't like things that are exagerated or too extravegant. i like simplicity.

simplicity is related to elegance.

i have observed that everything elegant has an element of simplicity to it. we should have elegance in ceremonial events. and to have elegance they should be simple. by simple i don't mean austere, or minimalist.

for example: if i desire a cloth with patterns on it, i can have those patterns embroidered on with shimmering beads and different color threads, or i can have that pattern built into the weaving of the cloth, in the same color of the cloth. i think thats what i mean by simplicity.

i don't want to sacrifice beauty or elegance, but for some things to be beautiful and elegant they must sometimes be simple. but it does depend on the particular situation. there may be situations where its the application of a pattern with shimmering beads that makes it beautiful. i hope this makes sense.

now...
what makes the ceremony an event is the experience people have at the ceremony...

by experience, i mean i don't like things that are staged for show and/or overly planned out, especially if the planning involves recording the event for posterity, often involving a camera, picture or video. i don't think a camera should decide the pace and the places of the people at the event. its like staging an event to be recorded rather then recording whats going on. we should forget the picture perfect, forget what others will think, and just go with the moment, experience it to the fullest. let the cameras capture the reality of imperfections rather then the perfect images.
