Perfect
Perfect like no mistakes?
or perfect like a feather—
bent all directions, bendy, soft and misshapen.
Or perfect like sand, where every grain is unique,
and together sand is sand
and apart sand is sand
and it’s still identifiable and beautiful either way.
Perfect like light or like shadow, that moves and changes
according to its circumstances,
and becomes more or less strong, but is always present,
and can have hard or soft edges
—Depending.
Perfect, Perfect like a curled feather
shining against the sand
in the light
with a shadow.
Yeah, that kind of perfect.
(I hope your those kinds of perfect)

Pastor Katy has enjoyed ministry at New Covenant since 2010, where the church has solidified its community focus. Prior to that she studied both Theology and Christian Formation at Princeton Theological Seminary. She also served as an Assistant Chaplain at Trenton Psychiatric Hospital and as the Christian Educational Coordinator at Bethany Presbyterian at Bloomfield, NJ.
She is an writer and is published in Enfleshed, Sermonsuite, Presbyterian's today and Outlook. She writes prayers, liturgy, poems and public theology and is pursuing her doctorate in ministry in Creative Write and Pittsburgh Theological Seminary.
She enjoys working within and connecting to the community, is known to laugh a lot during service, and tells as many stories as possible. Pastor Katy loves reading Science Fiction and Fantasy, theater, arts and crafts, music, playing with children and sunshine, and continues to try to be as (w)holistically Christian as possible.
"Publisher after publisher turned down A Wrinkle in Time," L'Engle wrote, "because it deals overtly with the problem of evil, and it was too difficult for children, and was it a children's or an adult's book, anyhow?" The next year it won the prestigious John Newbery Medal.
Tolkien states in the foreword to The Lord of the Rings that he disliked allegories and that the story was not one.[66] Instead he preferred what he termed "applicability", the freedom of the reader to interpret the work in the light of his or her own life and times.
