The Spirit showed me a tiny thing the size of a hazelnut,
as round as a ball and so small I could hold it in the palm of my hand.
I . . . wondered, "What is this?" The answer came to me:
"This is everything that has been made. This is all Creation."
It was so small that I marveled it could endure;
such a tiny thing seemed likely to simply fall into nothingness.
Again the answer came to my thoughts:
"It lasts, and it will always last, because God loves it."

These selections taken from All Shall Be Well, Anamchara Books' modern-language version of the complete revelation of Julian of Norwich, are arranged thematically, bite-size thoughts to be read slowly, one at a time. This is the sort of book that's meant to be picked up for five minutes and put down again . . . while a kernel of truth lingers in your mind, transforming your thoughts. Each short selection contains within it Julian's amazing message:

all shall be well
because God's love sustains our world.
