Broken But Restored
Its sometimes the sadness in our eyes,
Perhaps also the tears when we cry,
When caught up in our own train of thought,
Going to God with our cares is our last resort,
He then breaks us from within,
Make us go on our knees and pray for His divine peace to come in,
And calm the raging storm in our heart and mind,
As nothing can be undone with just a rewind,
Because it’s hard to forgive and forget all on your own,
It’s hard to have the love of Christ forever shown,
When you feel you are beaten and forlorn,
It’s hard to cherish all that Christ for you has borne,
Yet He comes in search of me, To restore the broken me.
by Catherine John
Kintsugi (“Golden Joinery”)
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with 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.
“Not only is there no attempt to hide the damage, but the repair is literally illuminated.” – Christy Bartlett (Flickwerk: The Aesthetics of Mended Japanese Ceramics)

I do love the manner in which you have presented this specific concern and it does indeed give me some fodder for thought. Nevertheless, from everything that I have personally seen, I basically wish as the commentary pack on that people stay on point and in no way get started on a tirade of some other news du jour. Yet, thank you for this outstanding point and although I do not go along with this in totality, I respect the perspective.

I enjoy you because of all your work on this site. My mom really loves making time for investigation and it is obvious why. Many of us notice all regarding the compelling mode you make efficient tips and tricks by means of this website and in addition attract participation from some others on this concern and our own girl is really discovering a great deal. Take advantage of the remaining portion of the year. You are conducting a tremendous job.

I have to get across my love for your kindness for men who have the need for assistance with your study. Your real commitment to getting the message up and down became amazingly valuable and has usually encouraged regular people like me to achieve their dreams. The valuable tutorial means this much a person like me and much more to my peers. Thanks a ton; from each one of us.
