daring to imagine is a revolutionary act. it's also a profound act of self-love—to imagine a world for yourself with every need met, every lack provided for, every injustice eliminated, every wound healed, every scar faded. daring to imagine it, feeling the steely froth of the past, climbing the barbed wire of the status quo that makes us negotiate between starvation and torture, exploitation and solitude. the role of faith is to render that imagined world an emotional possibility, and then to move it, to shift its modality, from the possible to the certain.
