@samdubbelman @thisnonhumanity @erin_zoutendam @seanmhannan @SamBaudinette @GregorySMoss2 @kavvanah @jacobjerickson @Hughes69Kevin It's important that Julian pairs "drede" and "love"— they are "brethren...rotid in us be the goodnes of our maker". I see dread (esp. "reverent drede", as J has it) as the rupturing awe of wonder, which has to be paired with love to keep it "full soft", or to sustain openness.

In case you missed it - my latest in American Imago:
🌘 I have a new article out today in American Imago: 'D.W. Winnicott, Julian of Norwich, and the Good-Enough Mother/Mystic' finds new currents of medievalism in Winnicott's writings, and a shared preoccupation with "enoughness" in Julian's Revelations.
