1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
“Jesus teaches us to dream of a day when power is shared and equity is a way of life and all bodies can shine in their beautiful uniqueness without fear of oppression–dream those dreams while you are fully awake to the challenges of the now–because those dreams are proof of the world upturning: arising, ascending, aspiring, climbing, lifting, mounting, rising, soaring.”
