In Search of Fullness of Life: Everyday Forms of Resistance and Christian Mission by Dr. Gemma Tulud-Cruz, PhD

"𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹." - Confucius

Kintsugi—a Japanese art and practice of repairing things—sheds a new light to our lives by teaching us the significance of mending our personal wounds, both physical and abstract. The idea to "join with gold" is synonymous to recognizing and accepting our deep-cut imperfections not just to ourselves, but also with others. Gluing our pieces back through acceptance and a new hopeful sight forward, not to disregard the wounds, but to be with it.
