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

Julian of Norwich

Revelations of Divine Love, chapter 27


She says it three times, and each time it widens. All shall be well. All shall be well. Then the part that catches the breath: all manner of thing. Not the large things only, and not the ones you would have chosen. Whatever you are carrying today was already inside that sentence — written six hundred years ago, by someone who never knew your name.
