I have been thinking about the word "mystic"...and how to renew "mystical" in my journey. So, I have pulled Hildegard's "Book of Divine Works" and randomly picked this passage from one of her visions, where it seems that the Mystery of God is speaking to her:
And thus I remain hidden in every kind of reality as a fiery power. Everything burns because of me in such a way as our breath constantly moves us, like the wind-tossed flame in a fire. All of this lives in its essence, and there is no death in it. For I am life. I am also Reason, which beats within itself the breath of the resounding Word, through which the whole of creation is made. I breathe life inot everything so that nothing is mortal in respect to its species. For I am life.
Honestly, I don't really know what most of that means, but I love the taste and sound of the words strung together...mystical.
May the Mystery of God and your inner mystic surprise you with life today.
Amen.

Sometimes the mystics are profound and sometimes I find their thoughts completely incomprehensible....nonetheless this reads beautifully. Maybe it is the sort of prayer that reveals itself as one prays it?
