Clara this is really beautiful. I love kitnsugi. One day I will learn the craft.

BUT, the idea of en emotional kintsigi I had not considered...or did I? I now need to go back and see.

I remember writing about a runner almost burnt to death, and a chef who lost his whole family, and almost his life, also to fire...I need to go and check if I did use kintsugi as a road to wholeness.

But whether I did or didn't, your story is delightful. Best to you, Clara.
