To what I know—
the sky, wind, water, trees.
To what I don’t know—
the stronger, wiser force.
Do you practice kintsugi?
Knowing that we are all broken
and c a c k e d
r
do you mend our shattered parts
with gold?
Because of what I know
and don’t know,
I believe you can teach us to listen,
understand,
accept defects
in others
and ourselves.
I beseech you to
mend us with love.
Teach us the art of kintsugi for
ourselves,
others,
and our
uncertain future.
Amen.
