Daily Delight - Day 10: Heart of Gold
Today’s delight is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi (金継ぎ), which means "golden joinery." When a piece of pottery breaks, Kintsugi masters don't just glue it back together; they mend the cracks with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum.
The philosophy behind it is that the object is more beautiful and precious for having been broken. The cracks are not something to hide; they are a celebrated part of the object's history, a map of its resilience.
The Play, Pray, Practice: Think of a scar, a past mistake, or a challenge you've overcome. See it not as a flaw, but as a golden seam of Kintsugi on your soul. Today, don't hide that part of your story. Instead, honor it. Ask yourself: What strength did I gain from this? What wisdom is written in this golden line? You are not broken; you are beautifully mended and magnificent.
Lyric: "I made a crown from my thorns / 'Fore they could leave me torn."
Artist: The formidable Rapsody, from her powerful track "Crown."
