It is easier to gaze into the sun, than into the face of the mystery of God. Such is its beauty and its radiance.
Hildegard of BingenThe soul is a breath of living spirit, that with excellent sensitivity, permeates the entire body to give it life. Just so, the breath of the air makes the earth fruitful. Thus the air is the soul of the earth, moistening it, greening it.
