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

An awesome piece of writing by Hildegard of Bingen...... Both her terror and her gentleness are incomprehensible! So true.
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
