As of Today,

 I'm manifesting love and everything I desire—with clarity and intention. I'm being specific, because the universe responds to aligned action.

Rain Come, Roots Talk

 

Every word weh fly from yuh mouth, every ting yuh do, is a likkle seed yuh drop in di earth. Kindness? Dat one plant whole orchard—sweet fruit fi days. But cruelty? Eh, dat only raise up bush full a bramble an’ thorn. So tek care what yuh water, 'cause when di season turn, ah dat same crop gwine meet yuh at di door.

The Beauty in Broken Things

 

In a world that often prizes flawlessness, the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi offers a radical alternative—one that sees beauty in imperfection, strength in fractures, and wisdom in the act of repair. More than an art form, kintsugi is a testament to resilience, celebrating history rather than concealing flaws.

Originating in the 15th century, kintsugi emerged when Japanese artisans began mending broken ceramics with lacquer infused with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. Instead of hiding damage, they illuminated it—transforming cracks into veins of brilliance. This practice aligns with the broader philosophy of wabi-sabi, which cherishes impermanence and imperfection. Each repaired bowl, cup, and plate carries a story—not of loss, but of endurance.

Kintsugi is more than a craft; it is a metaphor for life. Hardship, heartbreak, and struggle shape us, but they do not diminish our worth. Like fractured pottery gilded with gold, our scars do not mark weakness—they reveal transformation. As the poet Leonard Cohen once wrote, "There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." 

Perhaps it is in our brokenness that our most luminous selves emerge.

Privilege

            It must be nice to not have to worry about politics because none of the changes affect you.
