"Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls;
the most massive characters are seared with scars."
~Khalil Gibran
The Japanese have an art form called Kintsugi. It’s the art of mending ceramics and it refers to the art of fixing broken ceramics with a lacquer resin made to look like solid gold. Chances are, a vessel fixed by kintsugi will look more gorgeous, and more precious, than before it was fractured. The belief is that the object is more valuable and beautiful with its history revealed.
Imagine a world where we could embrace our history, in other words, our wounds, and find ourselves and each other more beautiful?
