Status Updates From Revelations of Divine Love

I'm reading the "Longer Text" for now. Nearly scared off this book by the Scivias, but very glad I kept it. It's been simply beautiful so far.

for an early 14th century work, thanks to translator, it's relatively easy to understand as the prose, if you're at all familiar with the christian faith; it is however unique to read of julian and her hyper fixation on wanting to witness the crucifixion; but colour me intrigued as it also has great ways of personalising such things.

technically page 30, but intro/translator's note don't count so :/ but man, such a thoroughly insightful way to usher us into the text. giving context of the 14the century landscape and how women were perceived back then.

again, i do feel bad for dropping gaskell suddenly but i had to. i will come back to it at a later time; but we continue.
