My Tracks Broken: The Beauty in Imperfection

As humans, we often focus on our strengths and talents, but it's equally important to appreciate our flaws and imperfections. In fact, what makes us unique is often the result of our brokenness or injuries. For me, my 'cracked cranium' is a perfect example of this.

I recall a kindergarten contest where I tried to swing highest against a classmate, only to land on my head and suffer a concussion. The memory still lingers, but instead of dwelling on the pain, I've come to appreciate the unique gift it's given me – the ability to predict severe weather changes based on the pressure front in my skull.

This experience has taught me that our flaws can be valuable, even beautiful. Think about your scars and imperfections – what makes them golden to you? What value or depth have they brought to your life?

In Japan, broken objects are often repaired with gold, highlighting their unique history and adding to their beauty. Similarly, I've found that sometimes correcting errors in Pro Tools requires a 're-calibration' of sorts, where I manually change each MIDI track back to clips view.

When my tracks break, it's like a re-set button for me – an opportunity to appreciate the uniqueness of my brokenness and find value in it. So, next time you encounter a flaw or imperfection, take a step back and consider what beauty it might bring to your life.
