Mysticsm

Kelly Bourgeoius


No creature has meaning
     without the Word of God.
God’s Word is in all creation, visible and invisible.


The Word is living, being,
     spirit, all verdant
          all creativity.

This Word flashes out in
     every creature.

This is how the spirit is in
     the flesh – the Word is indivisible from God.

"God's Word Is In All Creation" by Hildegard of Bingen

Suzanne Zoole


And God said to the soul:
     I desired you before the world began.
     I desire you now
          As you desire me.
     And where the desires of two come together
          There love is perfected.
