God Speaks

God speaks:

“I am the breeze that nurtures all things green

. . . I am the rain coming from the dew

that causes the grasses to laugh with joy of life.

. . . I am the yearning for good.”

~Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)

Just had to say hi and visit after your visit to my blog. As a "recovering Methodist", I find a lot of interesting intersections in your journey.

Blessings.

How do you find these things?

I am always intrigued.

Jan, This is lovely. Thanks. I love Hildegard.

I found this from a little book entitled "Soul Weavings: A Gathering of Women's Prayers" by Lyn Klug. I needed a meditation for tomorrow morning's Wisdom Class.

Oh Jan, wow what a great quote.

You are really doing a ministry of sorts here, touching so many hearts and spirits.

Thank you and peace.

Wonderful! (Reminds me of how she created the term "viriditas"---green power.)

Jan I hope you don't mind that I will use this at my church blog.

Fran, I'm glad you'll use it. You might want to cite the book by Lyn Klug that I mentioned in my reply to Wyld.
