A Kintsugi Life
Beschreibung
This is Kelly Holden's story of losing a husband she loved immensely and understanding that finding love again does not mean you stop loving the first person. It is a story of grief, healing, and hope.
Her life, like many others, resembles broken pottery. The key to being happy is finding beauty in these imperfections, which is from where the title of the book comes.
Kintsugi is a centuries-old Japanese art of repairing broken pottery and transforming it into a network of art with gold. "Kin" means "gold," and "tsugi" means "joinery." Kintsugi pertains to the Zen ideal of wabi sabi, the concept of embracing imperfection. It also relates to finding value and beauty in imperfections and blemishes.
