Glancing at the sun. Windows wide open. Listening to the birds singing of Spring.
And though not visible yet “viriditas” is already bubbling in the bare branches waiting patiently to burst into new green. May be one needs to live through the cold winter to appreciate the wonder of this greening life force, as Hildegard has it, which penetrates all creation with being.
So our #midweekblessing comes to you today in the words of a wise woman, inviting you to marvel and to be.
"Glance at the sun.
See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of earth’s greenings.
Now, think.
What delight God gives to humankind
with all these things. . . .
All nature is at the disposal of humankind.
We are to work with it.
For without we cannot survive."
— Hildegard of Bingen
