Finding Wholeness in the Midst of Everything with Julian of Norwich

We all long to be gladdened by what Julian of Norwich imagined as the inner music of love in our lives. She knew that the melodies that shape us—some in the major key, some in a jarring, discordant minor—are part of a larger symphony, if we learn to listen deeply enough. Julian described this as the “marvelous melody of endless love.” We long to experience the resonance of this love in the depths of our lives, an energy that grounds our hearts and lifts our souls. For this love gathers us in communion and holds us—and all beings—everlastingly. It reminds us, as Julian put it, that despite the turbulence in this world and the troubles we face, “all shall be well. . .and all manner of thing shall be well.” Precisely here is where we discover that we are God’s “unending delight,” as Julian put it. This is where our healing begins, and it is here that the melody of God’s love “happens” in and through us.
