Kintsugi

The Art of Mending

By Justin RayPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Let this be a conversation

These words

a vaccination

away from the pains

that may sting at first...

But Beloved, it is my hope

they serve as a map for the heart

through the dark

&away from these dangers

when troubled waters rise.

-so shall you; rise.

Kintsugi; the art of mending broken things with gold

Inspired by my time in Japan after volunteering

in the Tohoku region after the 3/11 quake

going back in 2013 to see the flowers growing

and the people trying again

to find love, loved ones, and life.

Empathy for the things they faces

while giving encouragement to the weight of my own obstacles

in life, love and the everyday.

for the land of the rising

thank you.
