Thank you for this amazing piece exploring Kintsugi! There is so much more I need to explore about this spiritual viewpoint and philosophy! I love the condition of exploring and embracing what is broken or disfigured to find deeper meaning and beauty! Embracing the flaws or broken aspects of something certainly shows the deeper strength and unlimited beauty that endures. Much like if water is able to make its way into cracked ground dried from a drought or when we see a rose's thorns help to protect its immeasurably wondrous petals.
