Oops again. I dropped the "l" on the htm suffix.

There are many sites about Julian, including the Catholic encyclopedia and Wikipedia. The best way to get "into" Julian (imo), is to read her book "Revelations of Divine Love." It's not very lengthy.
Julian's ideas are often used to support Creation Spirituality, which is not about the literal creation of the universe in six days, but about the creative, sustaining, and redemptive presence of God's love throughout creation. The "shewing" on which this idea is based is called the Hazelnut Revelation:
"In this vision he showed me a little thing, the size of a hazelnut, and it was round as a ball. I looked at it with the eye of my understanding and
thought "What may this be?" And it was generally answered thus: "It is all that is made." I marvelled how it might last, for it seemed it might suddenly have sunk into nothing because of its littleness. And I was answered in my understanding: "It lasts and ever shall, because God loves it."
