Julian of Norwich: What are We Made Of?

We’re spending a lot of time this month wondering around what it means to be human – this creature that’s a funny mash up of animal and divine. We are dreamed up and created by God, exactly how and comprised of what, we do not know. But it is clear that God has our echoes of the divine in us in depths and levels that we can’t quite put our fingers on, we cannot grasp the make-up of ourselves. I wonder if we can enjoy ourselves and other human beings anyway, if we can rest in the joy of being made in the image of God.

This is inspired by the fifty-fifth chapter of Julian of Norwich's long text, Revelations of Divine Love.
