the little monk
Sometimes, the little monk hears with his eyes, sometimes he sees with his ears, but at all times he looks and listens with his heart.
Some stories break the little monk’s heart and scatter it over the ground. Some stories mend his heart and put the pieces back together again. He writes both kinds of stories.
The little monk loves the Japanese art form Kintsugi. In English, it is translated “golden joinery.” It is an ancient art form where a broken pot is mended with lacquer and dusted with powdered gold.
The beauty of the broken pot is in its brokenness.
This is the philosophy of the little monk.
