Communion song: for Hildegard of Bingen

National Catholic Reporter,  Dec 14, 2007  by Lou Ella Hickman, Sr.

Communion Song
for Hildegard of Bingen

   We are sunrise, sunset colors
   from skin
   shedding into a million particles.

   'We are tides
   touched by the moon.

   We are planets
   weaving a webbed path called atoms.

   We are fire and ice
   our passion jungle
   our indifference arctic.

   We are water
   flowing with our memories.

   We are birds
   longing for the radiant air.

   We are plants
   breathing, opening to light.

   We are rock
   until we crumble into dust.

   We are life
   if we but knew.

--Sr. Lou Ella Hickman

Corpus Christi, Texas
