The art and philosophy of kintsugi which means "golden joinery," teaches us that even if we have survived illness and difficult times such as the pandemic, we can still heal the "brokenness" in a manner that transforms us into something we are not afraid to celebrate. In this delicate art, breaks are not hidden but highlighted by piecing the broken parts together with a mixture of lacquer and gold or silver powder.

The art and philosophy of kintsugi which means "golden joinery," teaches us that even if we have survived illness and difficult times such as the pandemic, we can still heal the "brokenness" in a manner that transforms us into something we are not afraid to celebrate. In this delicate art, breaks are not hidden but highlighted by piecing the broken parts together with a mixture of lacquer and gold or silver powder. This ethos mirrors the path we travel to mend what may have been hurt in us, filling the cracks left by trials with radiant bonds stronger than before. Like a warrior who emerges mightier from battle, we see in this collection of poems, the journey from brokenness to healing as one always bound by the luminous threads of love, caring, and hope. This perspective is related to the philosophy of wabi-sabi, which emphasizes finding beauty in simplicity and within life's imperfections. It encourages us to accept the natural cycle of growth and aging, and to appreciate the transience of life - celebrating the way things are, rather than craving for how they should be. Within this framework of thought, each tale, each poem, becomes a testament to the unyielding power of compassion, hope and love as "the golden elements" mending our fractured world. It is seeing the blessings still shining through our lives, recognizing that there is always hope on healing's road, and a beauty that emerges from embracing imperfections while celebrating ways of coping through caring and resilience.
