Inside the Cosmic Pearl

Hildegard de Bingen (1098-1179)

I, the fiery life of divine wisdom,

I ignite the beauty of the plains,

I sparkle the waters,

I burn in the sun, and the moon, and the stars.

With wisdom I order all rightly.

I adorn all the earth.

I am the breeze that nurtures all things green.

I am the rain coming from the dew

that causes the grasses to laugh with the joy of life.

I call forth tears, the aroma of holy work.

I am the yearning for good.
