...best federal prisons, and Hoffa, assigned to a job of recycling old mattresses into new ones, had one of the easier situations. Nevertheless, he hated prison for its deliberately debilitating effect on mind and body. "Everything that goes on is designed to strip you of your manhood.

Lady Julian of Norwich, an anchoress who lived in Chaucerian England in the 14th century, laid out her prophetic theology in a book called Sixteen Revelations of Divine Love. "God, Almighty, is our kindly Father," wrote Lady Julian. "God, all-Wisdom, is our kindly Mother."
