Kintsugi: The Art of Embracing Damage
To see ourselves as more beautiful ~ to understand ourselves as more strong, for having been broken.
Incredibly freeing, this concept. Where shame was, or fear, which is the mortal fear of abandonment masquerading as the ten thousand things we are afraid of in the world, there is the brokenness, and the glitter of gold.
And a kind of wonder, and honor.
It has to do with seeing through our own eyes and never again, seeing ourselves through the eyes of the abuser. It begins with such brief glimpses. With that kaleidoscope feel of whirling light and dark.
And ends here. In gold.
