We are all hoping that JeanR is correct. Or maybe we're hoping that Julian of Norwich is correct. I guess we have to figure out who Julian was. <pause> So much information. Curious readers will need to do their own surfing.
Or maybe I'll mention that she was an anchoress. I had never heard that term. They were people who chose to live in a cell that was connected to a church. Somewhat monastic, but village life was happening right outside their cell. Apparently the door would be sealed off, but there were windows through which things could be passed.
This is quote from Wiki:
As an anchoress living in the heart of an urban environment, Julian would not have been entirely secluded. She would have enjoyed the financial support of the more prosperous members of the local community, as well as the general affection of the population. She would have in turn provided prayers and given advice to visitors, serving as an example of devout holiness.
