Composed by 12th Century Christian mystic, writer, composer, philosopher, Hildegard Von Bingen, a visionary who left behind a treasure trove of illuminated manuscripts, treatises on theology, medicine, botany, the arts, & above all her extraordinary music. Hildegard's contributions to the cannon of universal spirituality & mysticism, are immeasurable. Her work transcends centuries & musical, religious/mystical genres. It awakened me to the ancient philosophy of "The Music of the Spheres.” That if the human body is made entirely of elements forged by stars, then indeed we are celestial bodies & the cosmos is within us. If the rotation of heavenly spheres produce tones & harmony, then they must resonate within us. Thus, music in its most sublime form, is our participation in the harmony of the universe. That we may bring some harmony to our souls in our longing to return to our celestial home.
O Vis Aeternitatis-Hildegard von BingenO power within Eternity:
All things you held in order in your heart,
and through your Word were all created according to your will.
And then your very Word was clothed within that form of flesh
from Adam born.

And so his garments were washed and cleansed from greatest suffering.
V.
How great the Savior’s goodness is!
For he has freed all things by his own Incarnation,
which divinity breathed forth unchained by any sin.
R.
And so his garments were washed and cleansed by greatest suffering.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
R.
And so his garments were washed and cleansed by greatest suffering.

On that day
I left the work office early, bought strawberries and chocolate, made chocolate wrapped strawberries then collapsed in front of the TV with my period, watching a movie where someone orders a wine glass of pinot from a food truck
Apparently, turning 30 is a big thing.
It doesn't feel that way, doesn't feel like anything special.
Never thought my birthday was special in the first place, don't remember most f those days, and it is the case for this too
