pegkerrI just bought Peter Mayer's newest album and am already obsessed with two or three songs on the album. But this one particularly stands out.
I have someone who I particularly love who struggles with depression. When she's having a tough time, she talks about feeling 'broken,' and hence, worthless.
The Japanese idea of kintsugi might be particularly helpful, the idea that the pot that is broken and mended is even more valuable, and the cracks are part of the beauty.
It's also an especially lovely song.
(Here's another link to a different performance of the song by Peter, and he talks about the concept a bit in the song introduction.)
