Reminders

There's a reason this blog is named what it is. It's largely so I remember. Sometimes I find that it helps others remember as well.

I write reminders

To myself.  All will be well.

All manner of things.

What a Dame!

Today is the feast day of Dame Julian of Norwich.  Dame Julian, of course, is the source of the title of this blog, now over two years in the making.  I added the .Period. at the end.  No, in fact, I spelled it out mostly because I forget sometimes that All Will Be Well.  I know this.  I proclaim this.  I believe this.  And I forget this, more often than I would like.  Today is Julian*s Day.  What a dame!

Today is Julian*s Day

What a dame!

She of anchoress fame:

What a dame!

Today I may sift through

Her Showings:

What a dame!

Today

I hold a hazelnut

In the palm of my hand,

A hazelnut in both palms,

Maybe grasp one or two

With my toes

For good measure.

What a dame,

I tell you,

What a dame!

That hazelnut

Holds the whole world

Simply

Purely

The whole world

Beginning and end

All shall be well

And all manner of things

Shall be well

What a dame!

Well

I wish I knew what exactly brings about a change of perspective.  Somehow God seems the logical answer.  This morning I woke up well.

This morning I woke up well:

Well in spirit

Well in vision

Well in possibilities

On the horizon.

I still have no idea

What will happen tomorrow

Except I woke up well

This morning.

I could see

There is more to all of this

Than meets the eye.
