Kintsugi

ring the bells that still can ring
forget your perfect offering
there's a crack in everything
that's how the light gets in
- Leonard Cohen, "The Anthem"

Kintsugi - the art form of using gold or silver to repair broken dishes. This practice is based on the understanding that brokenness is a part of the piece's history. I think this is so beautiful, and offers such meaningful symbolism for how we can think differently about brokenness in our lives.
