Kintsugi

The image is sharp in my mind. Word volatile. Master shared it long time back. Google search unveiled the word-Kintsugi, I was looking for. A quick browsing led to book with the same title, affirming, that this Japanese art symbolizes repairing the broken pottery with the gold, just like our lives.

Thanks Prashant and Rubal. Your comments encouraged to write. Now I am waiting to listen to your unheard voice.

The visible part of the life, like the tip of the ice berg, is governed by the invisible and unknown. An exploration to those deeper dimensions, historical tracks, have power to repair something that looks broken or damaged. And when Kinstugi is at work, those grey areas look although more beautiful with the touch of the gold, fine arts, creative zeal and subtle touch of the artist, that’s you, your higher self within.

Those scars and damages are the signs of your struggles, your making, of who you are today. The hushed voices become eloquent, the scars shades of prominence. Pain meaningful and revealing of your true nature. True nature, that is way beyond of our limited percieved selves.

A conscious walk, fulfilling time travel into those historical tracks with the touch of Kintsugi today!

You’ll smile, with twinkle in your eyes with the touch of that fine art, I am sure.

    Very nice article mam. The repaired pot is many time expensive than the original pot. Struggle does make the even better than we were before, if we practice the kintsugi for our healing. But then it takes a warrior to be able to do this. So it’s our choice to be a warrior or to remain dramatic as usual. We must practice kintsugi.
    During my phase when everything I was working for, started falling, I tried everything possible to stop the damage and repair it. But what’s meant to be broken, broke badly despite best efforts.
    Just when no hope and nothing remained with me, when I gave up on everything, the Supreme Almighty came to the rescue, put me on a purpose, gave me hope and gold, taught me the Kintsugi, and set me up in a right direction. But left the further efforts as my responsibility to create the perfect art. Stepping forward like a baby, getting down, standing up, getting side track with the flow, getting down again standing up to the right direction is my journey towards being that Kintsugi Pot.
    If I have started moving forward then I will reach the destination too , despite everything.
    🙏

      Each one of us shall reach to the destination Prashant, it’s the journey and what we become in the journey that makes the complete difference.
      Your strive, your efforts need sincerity and then, even when you fall and stumble like the baby you mentioned, you shall be embraced by the divine mother. For such is her grace and presence😊 Experience is the cost we pay to recognize and realise who we are. Broken or repaired. Original or remade. Priceless we are. “That we are”.
      God bless Prashant!
      Prayers and love
