Thanks to Anne Calico for sending me this lovely thing ...
On my wall - by Julian of Norwich (who was a nun in the Middle Ages, or around then).- This is what you do when you teach.
Be a gardener.
Dig a ditch,
toil and sweat,
and turn the earth upside down
and seek the deepness
and water the plants in time.
Continue this labour
and make sweet floods to run
and noble and abundant fruits
to spring.
Take this food and drink
and carry it to God
as your true worship.

Funny thing is that the homely mystic Dame Julian came into my mind when I first read Suze’s blog, especially her saying “…and [God] also showed me a little thing, the size of a hazelnut, lying in the palm of my hand. It seemed to me as round as a ball. I gazed at it and thought, ‘What can this be?’ The answer came thus, ‘It is everything that is made.’”
thanks for that michael,
sorry it's taken me a while to check the comments in here,but better late than never ..
