When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something’s suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful. ~ Barbara Bloom

Then Love is the gold which mends and holds us together.

And it’s when we’ve been broken and put back together by love that we truly become more beautiful.
