Gold In The Broken Places
My life has become broken. Broken heart,broken promises Broken word Broken trust... ah but i have become a master Taking that which has broke and mending it with
gold...I am a master of Kintsugi..."Golden Joinery"
the gold is the sunset of the day ,the ray of light through a cloud,reflection of light bouncing off the water....
I think to myself how much more can I mend ??At the price of gold these days metaphoriclly speaking.
The violence that seems the norm these days on our planet ,the lies of corporations for greed , seems almost deliberately broken to have one repair..Shift consciousness elsewhere like what are the kardashins doing so ya dont really notice whats going on ,
I noticed a few years ago I would bring up Pebble Mine no one here even heard of it..Are you kidding me this is a fishing community....After my Golden joinery most the working vesels have no pebble on them now..Like in the 15th century when this practice came about ...it was also a sign of culture clash..bring attention and beauty to that which is broken...
So what does one do but pick up the pieces might as well mend em them that ya can..
Matters of the heart i imagine a golden spider web weaving my heart whole ,protected .
I rember years ago saying ear plugs in and contacts out...you dont exist in my bubble.
another form of golden Joinery.
The sun comes out after a day of rain and fog and mist,could be another spectacular sunset to enjoy with the dogs.
So when things get so broken you think you just cant go on...visulize Gold in the broken places..a soft metal that makes it whole again and often more beautiful than it started out as and stronger.

Beautiful. What a wonderful idea, gold in the broken places... I have seen pieces like this. Broken pottery magically held together with rivers of gold. It's an honoring. More valuable than something intact and unbroken. A symbol of rectification, endurance. What heals you, the heat and the molten gold, becomes you and the value becomes priceless, beyond gold and object.
ReplyDeleteGolden joinery. Love that. And 'you do not exist in my bubble'. Honey words you write.
