Songs for Today

Felt appropriate…

I’ve been reading a lot of Hildegard of Bingen for my PhD studies lately (incredible reading and experience, btw… highly recommend). This one has been constant on my playlist the last few days…

O strength of Wisdom who, circling, circled, enclosing all in one lifegiving path, three wings you have: one soars to the heights, one distils its essence upon the earth, and the third is everywhere. Praise to you, as is fitting, O Wisdom

And as I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?

‘Cause each time I feel it slipping away
Just makes me wanna cry
What’s so funny ’bout peace, love and understanding? Oh
What’s so funny ’bout peace, love and understanding?
