Strength and beauty in our brokenness

Published: Sept. 2, 2020, 6:03 p.m.

America has a history of finding optimism in our trauma as our friend Adam Brandon of FreedomWorks said today. We know the importance of moving from our broken past towards a better future. An example of this is in the beautiful ancient Japanese art of kintsugi or "golden repair," of broken things that acknowledge the beauty of the break. We spent time today talking about a modern-day representation of this concept with the Topaz Japanese American Internment Camp Museum, which marked a somber part of our past in order to make better and more beautiful choices for our future. Boyd encourages us to respect our brokenness, in order to heal with greater and more beautiful strength.  ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
