Bodypsalm for Veriditas
Posted in BODYPSALMS on September 18th, 2016 by CelesteA found poem from Hildegard of Bingen’s words in the 12th c.
Your light cannot be contained by space
You are a shadow of the Living Light
no depth, height, or breadth can hold you
You hold us, radiant one
I shutter in your midst
Veriditas
awakening and greening
all that lives
glittering, glistening, luminous
You stir everything into quickness
dying and rising in everyday life
Here is Fecundity
You are
a fiery life in the essence of God
the flame above the beauty in fields
You shine in the waters
burn in the sun, moon, stars
What a miracle
to be awake
inside your breathing.
May we be kissed
by you
in our innermost regions.
