I like the light imagery / analogies--but reject "fortunate fall" theory: I'm for in spite of--not because of. Or even Kintsugi: broken and repaired, with brokenness acknowledged, and used not glorified. But yes, thanks for letting the light penetrate my confession: I need that part.
I think kintsugi goes right along with Felix culpa! The repaired objects, with their veins of gold, are more beautiful than they were before they were broken.
