Thought
for Today
“A
fish cannot drown in water.
A bird does not fall in air.
A bird does not fall in air.
In
the fire of creation,
Gold
doesn’t vanish:
The
fire brightens.
Each creature God made
Each creature God made
Must
live in its own true nature;
How
could I resist my nature,
That
lives for oneness with God?”
Mechthild
of Magdeburg [1210-1297]
