The Japanese art of kitsugi repairs broken pottery with gold, creating a new piece that is more exquisite than before the break.
We're all feeling a bit broken these days and kitsugi reminds us that we are stronger and more beautiful because of our imperfections!
Stay strong, my friends 💙

Whenever you're in areas with native wildlife, put your dog on a lead. It keeps you, your dog, and wildlife safer. Kangaroos are powerful and capable of causing serious harm or killing dogs and people, _if_ scared/provoked/not respected.
