“When you are broken, fill in the cracks with gold.”
The greatest joys of having a digital life are the serendipitous, happenstance encounters I often have with people, words, and ideas that lead me to other ideas, words, and people. Once in a while, I become so moved, I am compelled to do something. This is one such occasion.
There have been too many times recently when I felt overrun by brokenness and damage–from my own shortcomings, those belonging to others, and from events in both the national and global stages. This morning, I was reminded of the beauty of redemption. It is central to the art of kintsukuroi. Simple, beautiful, elegant. Thank you, Melissa Martin Powell, for leading me onto this path.

Now I must read, research, and learn more.
