The Kintsugi Man

A Story Told In Tanka Form

Once I was broken,
a man of many pieces,
cracked beyond repair,
so many tiny places 
scattered like leaves in the wind. 

Healing was a dream.
Restoration was elusive.
Much of me was lost. 
I could not find the missing,
my eyes dry from the seeking.

Then mercy found me.
The Great Artist touched my heart,
gathered me to me,
glued the pieces one by one
until I was whole again.

Why do the cracks show?
My question rose to the sky. 
The scars are ugly.
Must they remain forever?
I wondered if I was healed.

Wait, you gently said. 
Dipping your finger in gold,
your love traced the scars.
beauty in my brokenness.
The cracks let the soul's light out.

Pretty pink #CherryBlossoms.
It's that time of year again 🌸

The cherry blossom is associated with love & femininity in Chinese culture. It's a symbol of hope/renewal. The delicate, ephemeral nature of cherry blossoms are a reminder to appreciate our present moments & to cherish the beauty of life.

🇬🇧 Funerary relief from Canongate Kirkyard, Edinburgh.
A man subduing a lion, with an eagle and a serpent intertwined — a clear moral allegory of power, vigilance, and mortality in early modern grave art.
🇵🇱 Płyta nagrobna z Canongate Kirkyard w Edynburgu.
Człowiek panujący nad lwem, z orłem i wężem splecionymi w jeden motyw. Alegoria siły, czujności i przemijania.

"The Blue Tiger," Horace Pippin, c. 1933-37.

Pippin (1888-1946) was a self-taught Black American artist who took up painting after losing an arm in WWI.

While he never really subscribed to any school of art, he's generally credited as a Modernist, although I generally regard him as a Naive, but in the best way, as someone whose style developed from his personal passions rather than an academy.

His work often depicted Black American domestic life, but also depicted historic scenes (his first known painting is of his last memories of the battlefield; another notable painting is of John Brown going to his execution), religious themes, and various symbolic works.

At the time, a blue tiger was a symbol for something unattainable, and a bear represented the wilderness. But many feel that this painting is a symbol of racial conflict. Sadly we have nothing from the artist himself to hint at his intention, but there are other paintings that directly address racism and prejudice.

From the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
