Just the thought of it, takes my breathe away—the possibility of a woman president.
May all women rejoice!
This is what women WILL DO.
The Fiery Light
I, the fiery light of divine wisdom,
I ignite the beauty of the plains,
I sparkle the waters.
I burn the sun and the moon and the stars,
With wisdom I order all rightly,
I adorn the earth.
I am the breeze that nurtures all things green.
I am the rain coming from the dew
That causes the grasses to laugh
With the joy of life.
I call forth tears, the aroma of holy work.
I am the yearning for good.
—Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)
