I am the breeze that nourishes all things green

Hildegard of Bingen
July-August 1994 (Vol. VII, No. 7)

I am the breeze that nourishes all things green
I encourage blossoms to flourish with
ripening fruits ...
I am the yearning for good.

~ Hildegard of Bingen

Quote of the Day

Some centuries ago Joachim of Flores prophesied that there would be in the future a new age that would be the Age of the Holy Spirit. This is Sophia's age, in which She declares: Omnia coniungo ("I unite all things"). Sophia the God-bearer, becomes the "inner mother to the Divine Child, the incarnating Self within us", enabling us to be born again, through the Spirit, in the world. And in this new world, Sophia helps us to see in the geometrical forms of Nature, the natural shapes of the human soul.

~ from "The Shapes of Sophia: Alice Howell's Geometry of the Soul" by Richard Leviton
