Storm's Eye
(for the feast day of Blessed Ursula Haider,
whose psalmody brings shelter from the storm)
There is the music of
heaven in all things.
-- Saint Hildegard of Bingen,
Storm's eye,
innermost 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, January 2021; and by Saint Mary's Catholic Church (Tulsa, Oklahoma) retreat's encouragement to pay special attention to the Saint of the Day as year begins.
