As always, Juliana there are more that one level of contemplation and support to your emails and wisdom. Thank you for offering us a contemplation to the internal realms where boundless support lies. I just had Hildegard von Bingen knocking at my brain recently, and this is the 3rd occurrence in a few days, so there we have it. AND there was the Church - Maria Lanakila - on Maui that is standing still. So may the Divine Mother in all Her forms wrap Maui and may we allow her to wrap us in her strength. Blessings Juliana!

May the Goddess Waters be auspicious for us to drink.

May they flow, with blessings upon us.

May the Earth be pleasant and free of thorns as our place of rest.

May She grant us a wide peace.

May the Divine Waters which grant us blessings, may they sustain us vigor and energy,

for a great vision of delight.

May we partake of that which is their most auspicious essence, as from loving mothers.

May the Heaven grant us peace, and the Atmosphere.

May the Earth grant us peace, and the Waters.

May the plants and the great forest trees give us their peace.

May all the Devas grant us peace; may Brahman grant us peace.

May the entire universe grant us peace.

May that supreme peace come to us.

May that peace dwell in me.

Take this firm resolve: May all beings look at me with the eyes of a friend.

May I look at all beings with the eyes of a friend.

May we all look at each other with the eyes of a friend.

— Shukla Yajur Veda (36.12-15, 17-18) Translation by Vamadeva Shastri

Julianna, Thank you for information / education regarding 'Feast of Assumption' Divine Mother Mary.

I did not know about, but now I do. Lovely image of Hildegard von Bingen. I'm familiar with her story, but will refresh my memory since it has been brought to my attention. Blessings.

Oh wonderful, thanks for writing, dear Rosemary. I am so glad you appreciated this article and the information. I highly recommend this book about Hildegard...it is a historical novel and utterly delicious - "Illuminations: A Novel of Hildegard von Bingen" by Mary Sharratt.

Like blessings calling, like silver threads...Like blossoms perfume, like rivers flowing, like eyes that shine only Light....like the stars in the eyes of my neighbour, 96 years old whom I met yesterday and pouring out love....like all those great women inspiring only love, love and love. Thank you Juliana.
