Seismic shifts take place in the long sweep of human history. Our reactions can be scornful (check out the Psalm). Or they can be open and attentive in the deepest experiences of dispossession (Ezekiel). They can see new possibilities when old taboos and barriers fall (Acts).

Meet in forbidden embrace
Dropped walls forecast change.
