It's the sort of Christianity I believe in.

They buried my body
And they thought I'd gone,
But I am the Dance,
And I still go on.

Lord of the Dance (1963)

All shall be well, I'm telling you, let the winter come and go
All shall be well again, I know.

Julian of Norwich (1983)

Come holy harlequin!
Shake the world and shock the hypocrite
Rock, love, carry it away, turn it upside down.
Let the feast of love begin,
Let the hungry all come in,
Rock, love, carry it away, turn it upside down.

Love, like the yellow daffodil, is Lord of all I know.

Julian of Norwich (1983)
