Transforming my failures

Transforming my failures

“Last night, as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.”
~Antonio Machado, translated by Robert Bly

I love this way of seeing things. My failures being turned into sweet honey sounds so much like the transformative power of kintsugi.
