Books

Oh Blog, I've neglected you with everything going on in my life... Just re-read Katherine, by Anya Seton, and loved it as much the 2nd time as the first. There's a blog of Anya Seton discussions here where I found that I am not the only one who goes back and re-reads books. (Of course, as I get older, I find that a fading memory is wonderful because we can watch the same movies over or re-read books and get the same enjoyment as we did the first time...) Katherine introduced to me to Julian of Norwich, a 14th century mystic who wrote about 16 'shewings' (as she called them) from God.

I put together some of my favorite sayings of hers in a journal that I made for a friend.
I love this one

He did not say,
Thou shalt not be tempted.
He did not say,
Thous shalt not be afflicted.
He did not say,
Thou shalt not be travailed.
He said,
Thou shalt not be overcome...
