Kintsugi is all about embracing things that are flawed or imperfect.... to mend them together so the cracks are more highlighted instead of hidden.
People who are inspirational have always had something that they've gone through — they've made that choice to either fear..... fear and shrink away..... or to face the fear and grow.
Let me be kintsugi
The unthinking vandals delighted
In the breaking of my life
They did the breaking so well
The jagged edges cut deep into my soul
and for endless moments the pain
of the cutting tormented me.
But two decades of patient work
has carefully fitted the pieces together
The love of those that surround me
has glued the parts into a whole....
and the final golden touch has been
the love of my brothers
I am kintsugi
