More than a quilt

Madora McKenzie Kibbe

The light of Christ is not a patchwork quiltIt is a seamless garmentSo we cannot be satisfiedwith stitching our lives togetherinto pleasant little patternsThe only real patternis the one of transfigurationThe light of Christ is a transformernot a seamstressThe Christ not only mends, it restoresand renews and reveals what already always has beenAnd every time we part withour preconceived pieces,our this-is-how-it-should-work-out outlookwe are blessedand robed in light,a light that also warms the world,the Christ light, which is not a quilt butthe Comforter.
