Julian of Norwich believed God and Christ to be courteous. I woke from a dream this morning where there was a copper pipe in the middle of a room. At the top of this upright pipe was a bowl. Water flowed into the bowl and people were coming to gently wash their hands and faces. Although no water was being spilled, I wondered if the constantly flowing water was wasteful. Then I realized that the water had been changed to a flame. I then understood that the source of fire and water are the same and cannot be controlled.
Courteous God,
be the foundation of my being.
May I sit in your true rest,
stand in you in sure strength,
and be rooted in you in endless love?
Reveal yourself more to me
so that I may know my true nature better
and act as I truly am.
All Will Be Well
