Storm's Eye (WC)

  



(Wendy Cabell, January 20, 2021, feast day of Blessed Ursula Haider, above. )


Storm's Eye
(for the feast day of Blessed Ursula Haider, whose self-offering, and chanting of Psalms, called down a shelter from the storm that remains in her town to this day)


          There is the music of 
          heaven in all things.      
          The soul is symphonic.
          -- Saint Hildegard of Bingen,
              two quotes compiled
          

Storm's eye,
inner-most Sky,
what births and keeps thee,
(between you and I)?

'Tis Heaven that births me,
spun from God's heart.
'Tis earth that keeps me,
singing her part.



*Prompted by Kayleen Asbo (of Mythica)'s recent classes on Christian Mysticism; and by encouragement from women's retreat group at Saint Mary's Catholic Church (Tulsa, Oklahoma) to pay special attention to the Saint of the Day this next week
