Kintsukuroi (KInt-soo-gi) is a Japanese art form…it is ancient…very old…it consists of repairing broken pottery with little bits of gold.
The idea is a simple one…innocent at it’s core
Where something that’s been broken can come back more beautiful than before.
It is a wonderful lesson…how something broken can be more beautiful…and new
It’s a lesson, if I’m not mistaken, that applies to people too.
