We have a Buddha head in our garden. It's been through many moves with us. On one such occasion, it cracked. We considered throwing it away and getting a new one but then I paused. I thought about how many Buddhas around the world are also cracked. People travel far and wide to see them. Does the Buddha in my garden need to be perfect? Or can it remind me that it's whole and complete, regardless of the illusion of the missing piece.
