Breadcrumbs and Shards

“The whole universe is based on rhythms. Everything happens in circles, in spirals.” – John Hartford

“Kintsugi is based on the belief that something broken is stronger and more beautiful because of its imperfections, the history attached to it, and its altered state. Instead of hiding what’s been damaged, the shards are mended with a special resin mixed with gold dust. The bonded seams become an intrinsic part of the ceramic and add a personalized, one-of-a-kind beauty through its imperfections.”― Jo Ann V. Glim, Begotten with Love: Every Family Has Its Story

Follow the breadcrumbs
Shards woven, stitched, melded back together again new
Bound in gold, restored to beauty
Purposed and repurposed
Seasons, circles, transformation
Follow the breadcrumbs, find the gold.

“Life does not belong to you. It is the apartment you rent. Love without fear, for love is an airplane that carries you to new lands. There is a universe in silence. A tunnel to peace in a scream. Get a good night’s sleep. Laugh when you can. You are more magical than you know. Take your advice from the elderly and children. None of it as crucial as you think, but that makes it no less vital. Our lives go on, and on. Look for the breadcrumbs.”― Marisha Pessl, Neverworld Wake
