KINTSUGI- Embracing our flaws and letting them shine!
I was reading this article about Japanese art form, and I came across something called King Suki. It's basically a Japanese method for repairing broken pottery. And if you ask me, it's quite an artist platform. The Japanese will repair a shattered piece of pottery with a special coat made up of gold and silver or platinum. And the beautiful thing about this is that the Potter doesn't disguise the flaws, and there is a cracks on the ceramic piece. Instead, he showcases it

And if you crack, the shell and the cracks form when you go through them and you shine out in a different way, it's a whole different level of exposing yourself and having yourself be exposed in front of others. And it's this kind of beholding of you and you beholding of yourself. It's this beautiful cycle that can happen when you allow your cracks to be seen. There's something really interesting about the Katsuki art form in that they use gold to fill in the cracks

If it's all things are not something that you can look at positively. But maybe the getting out of it was the positive part or we could find a positive part to it. But thank you so much. This was so good, so glad to hear your voice and the swell verse again. And I hope you're having a great Sunday, a very good Sunday getting ready for moving Monday and have an awesome week. Peace. Bye

And then Art is so good at reminding us and waking us up and saying, wow, do you really mean that? Do you really want that to be the case, or do you want to be more expansive, sort of kicking the tires and making sure we're not stuck in something? It's really cool. Thank you
