..there is a constant theme at the centre of all her writings which forms the heart of her vision of God, From her earliest novel to the mature vision of her autobiography, the central importance of unity, reconciliation, one-ness, is reiterated; for she came increasingly to see everything in life, even the darkness of fear and pain and suffering, as part of the one perfect whole that is Creation, that tiny hazelnut of Dame Julian's vision that was all that is made. Christine Rawlins
About This Quote

The theme of unity is central to her entire life. She saw how the world was fragmented, each person living their own separate lives, and how the only true unity is the union of all people within God. Her vision of God is not one of an aloof judge but that of a loving Father who created all things with care, and whose love is expressed in giving us the gift of freedom to choose our own paths.
