One thing I love about my little college is the library, where I’ve spent hours upstairs & downstairs browsing the faith-based collections, especially spiritual autobiographies.
A fig tree with huge elephant-ear-leaves shades our stone-and-glass edifice.
If you walk quickly alongside the tinted mirror-glass, your image vanishes into shelves and shelves of books…. this tickles me to no end! If I had the gift of “disapparation,” I’d love to vanish into books.
Last month, I borrowed Julian of Norwich’s Book of Showings, this edition. I taught a fragment of Julian’s text in the first phase of our British Lit Survey course this past autumn.
See Julian’s profile under “300 Women Who Changed the World.”

Prayer: “All shall be well/ and all shall be well/
… and all manner of thing shall be well.” ~ Julian
