I get what Japanese invented Kintsugi : the art of rebirth, really, the art of taking what is broken to “ repair” it apparently but I think it’s more than that. It is giving it a new life, where scars are celebrated and beautified.
A few days ago I wrote :
“Let us break and shatter
All that we could make better.
May we know when to say goodbye
To the old versions of us that need to die.“
I had forgotten that we don’t need to break and shatter anything, the world will do it for us, and our work ?
Our work is the creation of new life from the ashes of what once was.
Anyway, this mug was a sample for an upcoming mug collection with sentences from my poems. And broken or not … I love it !
