All shall be well, and
All shall be well, and
All manner of thing shall be well.
Julian of Norwich, English mystic and author of Revelations of Divine Love
This was one the first thing I read this morning,
Even before leaving my bed.
These simple words comforted me.
Simple words written over 600 years ago.
Political scandal and upheaval here and around the world.
Epidemics that just keep coming.
The world on fire, the world flooding.
Unease and distrust among neighbors and citizens.
The constant drumbeat of urgent requests for political donations.
Feeling guilty when I enjoy the pleasures of my life.
Feeling tearful and upset that I don’t know how “to fix” the world.
All manner of thing shall be well.
All shall be well.
I will do my best to make it so.
All shall be well indeed with a little patience

No need to feel guilty about anything. If we each keep trying to do something good and something right, things have to improve…. Don’t they?
