I’m the secret fire in everything, and everything smells like Me.
The living breathe My sweet perfume, and they breathe out praise of Me.
They never die because I am their Life.
I flame out—intense, godly Life—over the shining fields of corn, I glow in the
shimmer of the fire’s embers, I burn in the sun and the moon and the stars.
The secret Life of Me breathes in the wind and holds all things together soulfully.
This is God’s voice.
- Hildegard of Bingen
These are from a series
of drawings interpreting
Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th century German Mystic.
They are currently in the collection of
Mount Holyoke
College. For more on Hildegard and her connection to
the creative process, check this blog
post and this video
of my newest sculpture.
