The earth which sustains humanity must not be injured. It must not be destroyed!

Every element has a sound, an original sound from the order of God; all those sounds unite like the harmony from harps and zithers.

Those voices you hear are like the voice of a multitude, which lifts its sound on high; for jubilant praises, offered in simple harmony and charity, lead the faithful to that consonance in which is no discord, and make those who still live on earth sign with heart and voice for the heavenly reward.

If one intends to make beer from oats, it is prepared with hops.

I am the fiery life of the essence of God; I am the flame above the beauty in the fields; I shine in the waters; I burn in the sun, the moon, and the stars. And with the airy wind, I quicken all things vitally by an unseen, all-sustaining life.

All living creatures are sparks from the radiation of God’s brilliance, emerging from God like the rays of the sun.

All of creation is a song of praise to God.
