The Living Fiery Essence

 “I am that living fiery essence of the divine substance that flows in the beauty of the fields.

I shine on the water;

I burn in the sun and moon and the stars.

The mysterious force of the invisible world is mine.

I sustain the breath of all living beings.  

I breathe in the grass and in the flowers;  

and when the waters flow like living things, it is I . . .

I am the force that lies hidden in the winds;  

they take their source from me,

as a man may move because he breathes;  

fire burns by my blast.  

All these live because I am in them and am their life.

 I am Wisdom.  

The blaring thunder of the Word

by which all things were made is mine.  

I permeate all things that they may not die;

I am life.”

Hildegard of Bingen
