I have often viewed my soul
as a large illuminated pearl
in the center of my being.
Julian's vision is larger.
She viewed the
soul as a city - a kingdom
where Jesus sits,
magnificantly clothed.
I hear the words:
"In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.
If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself,
so that where I am, there you may be also.
And you know the way to the place where I am going."*
We do know the way.
"And when our soul realizes this,
it becomes like the one it beholds
and grace quietly unites it
to God in peace." *
Biblical text :John 14:2-4.
