# 227 Kintsugi - Golden Joinery

In today's episode we look at the Japanese art form of kintsugi. In kintsugi the artist takes broken pottery or glass an joins them together with gold dusting over all of the "scars" or the seams where the pieces are glued together. We compare the steps in this process to the aspects we need to focus on as we deal with our own broken pieces from our past. and we find encouragement in the quote by Penny Reid "A break is something to remember, something of value, a way to make the oiece more beautiful, rather than something to disguise. They use gold, not invisible superglue because mistakes shouldn't be considered ugly."
