#broken selves

The Western world has a distorted understanding of healing and wholeness... that it's to be without blemish or wound. Like the Japanese practice "Kintsugi" of gluing broken pottery with gold dust that treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise, we find wholeness is in embracing ALL of our experiences and who we are. It's honoring our stories of times of being broken as part of what gives us beauty, strength, and the unique medicine we each carry. It's coming whole with yourself. Today, what if you embrace ‘you are enough’? What if today you carry your wounds as part of your wholeness and what makes you beautiful? OM
