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

It's the sort of Christianity I believe in.

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)

They cut me down
And I leapt up high;
I am the life
That'll never, never die;
I'll live in you
If you'll live in me —
I am the Lord
Of the Dance, said he.
