Quote of the week No. 20 : some little words of calm

Twenty-five degrees at 8:30am. Clear skies and promising a Scorcher. Thirty-three by 3:30pm. Definitely a Scorcher.

St Julian of Norwich (c.1342-c.1416), English anchorite and mystic, whose Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love is believed to be the first book written by a woman in the English language.

"All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."

Surprisingly optimistic words for a person living through the ravages of the Black Death...but in the 21st century still resonant with divine reassurance.
