replacing with gold - a photo on Flickriver

            “Kintsugi is the art of repairing broken pottery with golden lacquer. Shattered pieces are put back together and become even more beautiful laced with gold than they were originally. Rather than being discarded or lamented for its flaws, an object becomes more treasured than ever, as its disfigurement or defect becomes its strength through the art of kintsugi, adding to its beauty. Kintsugi can often be found in the cups used for tea ceremony (or sado), where pieces with an interesting imperfection or defect are prized for their beauty and aesthetic quality. The concept of kintsugi is a compelling metaphor and doesn’t only have to apply to objects. It’s an important and even empowering one to think about, particularly at those times in your life that are challenging. It can even apply to something as trivial as a characteristic or “flaw” you perceive in yourself.”
