I heard about "The Art of Kintsugi" years before but I didn´t connect to this.
Until we had that theme in a meditation with dear Bindi.
Wikipedia says:
"Kintsugi (/kɪnˈtsuːɡi/, Japanese: 金継ぎ, [kʲint͡sɯɡʲi], lit. "golden joinery"), also known as kintsukuroi (金繕い, "golden repair"), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
After two years working on my childless grief, I now see my heartbreak about childlessness as part of MY history. It belongs to me and I do not want to hide it anymore.
I’m learning to speak about my grief and my sorrow. I’m putting myself back to be whole and worthy. I’m seeing the beauty in community and sharing stories. I’m learning to appreciate joy and fun in my life again.
Two years ago I was shattered.
Piece by piece I put myself together again.
The glue between the pieces are my sisters and new friends of the childless community worldwide.
I know that I am worthy even, no BECAUSE, I was broken.
