I feel like everyone must know of Kintsugi by now: the Japanese art of repairing a piece of pottery with lacquer and gold leaf. The concept here is known as Wabi Sabi - in the case of Kintsugi; recreating perfection & beauty out of imperfection & destruction. Carefully highlighting the cracks that were glued back together in order to emphasise that it had broken and was loved whole again. Within this art lies a beautiful truth of the Universe; that you're only ever more inherently perfect every time you put yourself back together. For every wound you've suffered, every ‘truth’ about yourself that isn't true; alchemising and releasing a pattern of belief that was never truly yours to begin with stitches you back together with pure metaphysical gold. 

The paradox here is that even when you're precariously wobbling on the edge of the table, even during your fall, even when you're shattering across the tiles on the floor, even in the aftermath scrabbling for shards of yourself under the dusty fridge along with the stale cat kibble; you're perfect then, too. 

Let go of the idea that your past defines you as broken or sullied. Or that the mistake you made yesterday confirms you're a monster. Look for the cracks in your heart that made you feel safer acting out of integrity with yourself or disowning your power and pour love in. Bring yourself back to inner alignment and give yourself grace for being human. For in grace for our imperfections we create divinity, paradoxically.
