@jonmsweeney @StMartinsPress Devoting an art show to sacred sexuality, I was stunned by how strikingly difficult it proved to find 'religious' text fragments to fit.

Painting of Cross with Sun and Moons and calligraphy: There are simply some divine cravings in life - the liberation of the poor, the equality of women, the humanity of the entire human race - that are worth striving for, living for, dying for, finished or unfinished, for as long as it takes to achieve them. - Joan Chittister
