Though the world tells us to have a “happy” Mother’s Day, for many the day comes with a bittersweet undertone. Hildegard of Bingen offers us some consolation here.
Oh, I know this feeling well, dear Jill. It reminds me of the birds I see in FL. They stand for hours in the sun to dry their wings so they can fly again :-)
Yes, a gentle Hildegardian reminder that we are both body and soul in our busy modern lives. Thank you for providing a bit of quiet monastery space for today’s journey. Happy Mother’s Day ❤️
This is a lovely concept of wings. Sometimes I feel like my wings are wet and I cannot fly. And always hope and love.

There is a refreshing honesty about Almut's comments - never "pollyannish" and yet, hopeful.
