Putting together the Pieces like Kintsugi

Writing Prompt: Everything can be made whole again

Life can sometimes break into a million pieces, Each fragment is distinct in its special way. The traumas and hardships of life, It can break the lives of the toughest souls. It is possible to put them carefully together, To make broken lives complete and whole?

When items break, we can put them together, So that they can work and be used once more. Like the traditional Japanese art of Kintsugi, Broken items can be brought to life once again. A discord is harmonious once again, it does remain. Tiny pieces and fragments that could be thrown away, Are delicately pieced together and held with lacquer, Powdered gold, silver, and platinum for decoration. This is a craft that is amazing and will always win.

Everything can be made whole once again. It’s not as perfect or as lovely as it used to be. Everything can be made to evolve a bit differently. If an individual’s life is battered, bruised, and broken, It can be gently brought together with patience and hope. Adjustment to changes in life can be hard to cope with. With understanding, love, peace, and tolerance, Every broken heart, every broken soul can be made whole, This should be our life mission to make lives whole.
