Spiritual Sundays

"There was once a king sitting on his throne...
It pleased the king to raise a small feather
from the ground and he commanded it to fly.
The feaher flew, not because of anything in itself
but because the air bore it along.
Thus am I, a feather on the breath of God."
Abbess Hildegard of Bingen

  8. That's lovely, but I prefer to think that once God breathes upon the feather, it becomes a real bird. Have a lovely day, my friend!
