hello friends this video is a personal favorite of mine, featuring a peculiar specie of anemone called Stomphia. when threatened, the Stomphia can unattach itself from its rock and literally booty pop away from the predator, being a pioneer to this sort of reaction in the animal kingdom. please enjoy

“Kintsugi or kintsukuroi is a is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a method similar to the maki-e technique As a philosophy it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.”

I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on my blog before, but in my non-nail-art life I am a psychiatric nurse, and I work with children and adolescents struggling with severe mental illness.  Some of the kids dig my nail art, so lately I’ve been trying to paint designs that I think they’ll enjoy.  This is one of those, because it embodies the hope I have for all of them (and for myself as well): that we can find a way to live with our broken bits that makes our lives more beautiful, not less.
