Today I broke one of my favorite porcelain saucer.

I felt bad but then I could see a different Beauty thanks to Japanese culture.

When the Japanese repair a broken object, they enhance the crack by filling the crack with gold or silver according to the KINTSUGI technique (literally – repair with gold). The Japanese believe that everything that has suffered a wound and has a history, if repaired with gold or silver, becomes more beautiful, more precious even if it has obvious scars and signs.

Our life, as well as objects, it is integrity and rupture together, harmony but also pain, sorrows and failures.  The defeats give us the privilege of a new life. Every crisis becomes an opportunity, every disappointment becomes a new story with the awareness of being changed, of being stronger and of bringing the signs of what has been.

The scars  help us to find new ways, new roads, new dreams.

I wish everyone to see the integrity and the break together, to see in each “crack” the new that advances and to give birth to a story even more precious, rich in beauty.
