while the rest of the world

was shifting on its axis...
Dearly Departed Leonard Cohen once said,
“There's a crack... a crack in everything...
That's how the light gets in...”

Things are patched and repaired
with great care...
with great care...
Kinsugi is the repair of broken ceramics
with lacquer mixed with gold.
The broken place becomes a golden seam

What are we called to do and be
in the world of this moment?
Special thanks to Steve, the catalyst...

and all the most wonderful travelers
