"Then he showed me a small thing, the size of a hazelnut, nestled in the palm of my hand. It was round as a ball. I looked at it with the eyes of my understanding and thought, 'What can this be?' And the answer came to me: 'It is all that is created.' I was amazed that it could continue to exist. It seemed to me to be so little that it was on the verge of dissolving into nothingness. And then these words entered my understanding: 'It lasts and will last forever because God loves it. Everything that is has its being through the love of God.'"

~ Julian of Norwich (1342 – 1416)

"So attend wholly to the one thing before you. And the radiance of the entire universe will dwell in that one small thing."

"People have always wondered at the saints, that they are able to walk around serene, whatever happens. But that is because they can choose where they'll be. They don't have to be angry. You see the difference between having scattered emotions and having a fully vibrating, controlled emotional body. This body is made from energy created from choice, from the effort involved in making choices. But it is necessary to practice; then something is possible."

~ Beryl Pogson, 'The Work Life' [Ian Sanders]
