This image is an example of “kintsukuroi,” which is Japanese for “to repair with gold.” It is the art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer, understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken.
This is a reflection of us, if we so choose to look upon ourselves and our healed wounds in the same way. And if we meet beautiful souls along our journey, we may never know how much gold and silver lacquer has been applied.
