“winged women was saying
"full of grace" and like
was light beyond sun and words
of a name and a blessing.
winged women to only i.i joined them, whispering
yes.”
-- Lucille Clifton (born 1936)

“Love is a place
& through this place of
love move
(with brightness of peace)
all places
yes is a world
& in this world of yes live
(skillfully curled)
all worlds”
― E.E. Cumming

“The Kingdom of God is a tricky concept, and I was always taught it referred to our heavenly reward for being good, which, now that I actually read the Bible for myself, makes very little sense. Others say that the Kingdom of God is another way of talking about the church, and still others say that it's the dream God has for the wholeness of the world, a dream being made true little by little among us right here, right now. My answer? All of the above.”
― Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of a Sinner & Saint

Scripture: Isaiah 64:1-9 Mark 13: 24-37
