the world is turning
in the body of Jesus
and the future is possible

~ Lucille Clifton, from "spring song"

I love this imagery of the entire world turning inside "the body of Jesus". One of my favorite passages from the Bible is found in the first chapter of John. In the beginning was the Word... And later: Through him all things were made and In him was life. Jesus carries the seeds for all forms of life.
