Kintsugi

A centuries old Japanese art coming from need
artists diving deeply into their creative spirit
reshaping and changing the everyday and ordinary 
broken bits and pieces edged with dusted lacquer
gold brightening of porcelain seams
silver linings for pottery scars
platinum sheen caressing with a softened light.

Our spirits broken and damaged by cruel twists and turns
mended and made whole when the creative spirit within,
like a joyous artist, fills our scars with precious creativity.

“One must still have chaos in oneself to
 be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
