How a broken, screwed-up life can be beautiful (Kintsugi)

Video Description

Taoism for Inner Peace (BOOK): https://einzelganger.co/tao/ Kintsugi doesn’t hide the history of brokenness; it accentuates it, making it a feature of beauty rather than something to put out of sight. This video explores the Japanese concept of Kintsugi and how a screwed-up, broken life can be beautiful.
