“Glance at the sun.
See the moon and the stars.
Gaze at the beauty of the earth’s greenings.
Now, Think.” ~ Hildegard von Bingen

Hildegard was certainly one of the greatest German women ever - although she is hardly known today (like Meister Eckhardt). Her mind was brilliant - she wrote books, music, prayers and hymns. The work ranged from science to the spiritual - she was an all around genius. She also worked as a healer.

Too bad she was ‘wasted’ in the dark ages - I wonder what such a woman had achieved with better tools and in a free society?!
