Author's Note
* Kintsugi is a Japanese art form in which breaks and repairs are treated as part of the object's history. Broken ceramics are carefully mended by artisans with a lacquer resin mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. The repairs are visible — yet somehow beautiful. Kintsugi means "golden joinery" in Japanese.May 7, 2015

We become more valuable
when we are mended
thank You for adding to the quiet beauty here

I practice the art of Kintsugi on broken, discarded things. I keep gold paint to cover the cracks just for that purpose. I have a huge 3-4' Angel someone threw away because she was knocked over and her wing was broken.
This is a beautiful way to see others, Tallen. In this case of humans, love is the glue.

That sounds really cool
an angel with a broken wing mended!
Absolutely
love is the glue and gold the kindness

Wonderful emotion flowing through this piece, with it's vulnerable lines almost tracing the cracks. I would like to see the stanzas staggered in such a way.

staggering the stanzas
Hmmmmmmmmm,
a wonderful thought
I was too emotional at the time of this spill
to consider structure
thank You for the thoughtful comments

Hi, Tallen
You ought to know that minimalism intrigues me! Too bad, I do not achieve enough of it myself.
Your metaphor is wonderful: her love binds your broken pieces into a new art form, in which the bandages come into view with amazing visible resonance.
Kind of reminds me of John Legend's:
"Cause all of me loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections"

Beautiful through and through, Tallen.

I am very familiar with that song by John Legend as my X who lives in Scotland loved that song as her favorite.
