Grateful for Love

Hildegard von Bingen: Werk Gottes (from the book Liber Divinorum Operum)

Grateful for love, which like the Sun, only seems to rise and set; but does indeed shine uninterruptedly -- inconceivably powerful, incomprehensibly ancient, unspeakably vast, utterly vital to all life.

Grateful for love, which like the Moon, only seems to wax and wane; but which, in truth, leads all life in an exquisitely beautiful tango.

Grateful for love, which like Space itself, simply abides, singing in timelessness.

-- Richard Power
