God has arranged everything in the universe in consideration of everything else.
Hildegard of BingenAll the arts serving human desires and needs are derived from the breath that Godsent into the human body.
Hildegard of BingenDare to declare who you are. It is not far from the shores of silence to the boundaries of speech. The path is not long, but the way is deep. You must not only walk there, you must be prepared to leap.
Hildegard of BingenThe Word is living, being, spirit, all verdant greening, all creativity. This Word manifests itself in every creature.
Hildegard of BingenI, God, am in your midst. Whoever knows me can never fall. Not in the heights, nor in the depths, nor in the breadths. For I am love, which the vast expanses of evil can never still.
Hildegard of BingenListen: there was once a king sitting on his throne. Around Him stood great and wonderfully beautiful columns ornamented with ivory, bearing the banners of the king with great honour. Then it pleased the king to raise a small feather from the ground, and he commanded it to fly. The feather flew, not because of anything in itself but because the air bore it along. Thus am I, a feather on the breath of God.
