Haiku My heart ~ Twelve days of Mother love

 
 
An unending love
is living inside my heart
divine feminine
 
 
“She is so bright and glorious that

 you cannot look at her face or her

 garments for the splendor with

 which she shines. For she is terrible

 with the terror of the avenging

 lightning, and gentle with the

goodness of the bright sun; and

 both her terror and her gentleness

 are incomprehensible to humans....

 But she is with everyone and in

 everyone, and so beautiful is her

secret that no person can know the

 sweetness with which she sustains

 people, and spares them in
 
inscrutable mercy.
 
 
Hildegard of Bingen

  3. This is lovely Gemma. I have never read this piece from Hildegard before and it is powerful. I will be thinking on this for some time to come, letting these words sift down through the cells of my being, awakening that which resides in us all... Thank you for this gift of the divine feminine!
