@edcasabar Hi Ed, That's a very good point. Yes on that level -- i.e., a bit of liberal translation -- there may be a phrase related to #Zen koan type of thing. I can't really think of anything that really fits though.
It's interesting you mention #kintsugi. I do kintsugi--love it. I learned from Kunio Nakamura, who is also active in exploring new forms--e.g., matching mismatched pieces to create a new life.
