What are We - Really?

     Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 
     Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
     It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.     Marianne Williamson 

The Living Fiery Essence

I am that living fiery essence of the divine substance that flows in the beauty of the fields.
I shine on the water;
I burn in the sun and moon and the stars.
The mysterious force of the invisible world is mine.
I sustain the breath of all living beings.
I breathe in the grass and in the flowers;
and when the waters flow like living things, it is I . . .
I am the force that lies hidden in the winds;
they take their source from me,
as a man may move because he breathes;
fire burns by my blast.
All these live because I am in them and am their life.
I am Wisdom.
The blaring thunder of the Word
by which all things were made is mine.
I permeate all things that they may not die;
I am life.                                                       Hildegard of Bingen
