The Japanese have this method to repair cherished ceramics. They use gold a precious material to fill in the gaps of broken pieces. In this way it is believed that when it is whole again the item – whatever it was – is now more beautiful because of it having been broken and then brought whole again.
The thought is that it is those broken areas are what makes the refinished – newly whole piece more unique, more special, something more worthwhile.
The times we break do not need need to define us – they can make when we become whole again that much better.
