Beauty in Cracks

In Japan broken objects are often repaired with gold. The flaw is seen as a unique piece of the object's history, which adds to its beauty. How do I view my flaws? My flaws are a product of the ego. Ego creates a wall around the soul, closing me off from love, freedom and happiness, making me defensive and prickly. When the ego begins to break, there are cracks in the wall around me that allow light to enter. Today let me imagine the beauty of gold filling the cracks where ego once was.
