"We are all meant to be mothers of God, for God is always needing to be born." Meister Eckhart
Christian mystic Julian of Norwich is known to many of us for her affirmative prayer, "All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well." But of course, her profound and deep spirituality offers us a wealth of insights. Once she wrote, "God is the true Father and Mother of Nature and all natures that are made to flow out of God to work the divine will, will be restored and brought again into God." We may notice that even in the middle ages, Julian knew that God wasn't limited to a Y chromosome! But we also see her faith that Good flows out of God, and the Good we share is an offering back to God. When we believe in our sacred value and share that optimism and goodwill with the world around us, we are expressing the Goodness of God. And when we express God, we are actually offering our best back to God. We are here to give birth daily to divine potential! Isn't that good news?
