The year of the Divine Revelations
Was 1373, in Norwich
A lady hermit received these visions
And later wrote them down. She lay there, sick
And as she lay, she thought such fantastic
Thoughts that they surely had to be divine…
Such positive thoughts for a Catholic
For instance, we’re forgiven for all sin
And God really is love; anger is mine
And yours, but we grow out of it. Julian
Of Norwich, female medieval mystic
Also saw the divine as female, in
An early feminist theologian
Kind of way, an ancient to modern bridge
