“There is an old Japanese tradition
called Kintsukuroi.
When pottery is cracked
it is repaired with gold
so the piece becomes more beautiful for having been broken.
-
Someday,
when I’ve gathered all my shattered pieces,
I will put myself back together
and seal the cracks with gold.
I will have been broken
and become more beautiful for it.”
