Spring

"We began as a mineral. We emerged into plant life, and into the animal state, and then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states,
except in early Spring when we slightly recall being green again."
                                                                                                Rumi, Sufi Poet

The Benedictine Abbess Hildegard of Bingen coined the term “viriditas,” the greening power of God, the animating life-force within all creation, giving it life, moisture, and vitality. When have you experienced this energy flowing through you? When has your soul felt “green” again? What action might you take to protect some aspect of creation, to keep our world green and growing?
