Day 52
“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” Julian of Norwich 
These are incredible words that were given to Julian in a vision. Many believed she had plumbed the mysteries of the unseen world. 

Her words have been used to give comfort and reassurance in time of stress and chaos. I know that people have said them to me and that I in turn have said them to others. They are again not simple words that with the snap of one’s finger magically all one’s troubles will disappear. But rather through the difficulty and pain and hurt, grace and strength and courage will be given to face whatever trials come. And in the end all will be well. 

This takes something to believe this…A leap of faith if you will, the hope of enduring…trusting that all will be well. 

Please humor me as I explain once again that one of the reasons my blog is called “tripping into grace” is because I am rather clumsy. It doesn’t take being around me long to see me trip or even fall–whether that is walking, running, riding a bike, whatever. But each time I do I learn something…a grace is imparted. Sure I get hurt, but I also get a new perspective, a new insight about myself and even the world around me. And I can say or hear with confidence:
”All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” I hope for you that you can hear these words and begin to believe that too. 

Buen Camino
