I am

I am
for all eternity
the vigor of the God-head.
I do not have my source in time.

I am
the divine power
through which God decided and sanctioned the creation of all things.

I am
the reflection of providence for all.

I am
the resounding Word,
the It-Shall-Be
that I intone
with mighty power
from which all the world proceeds.

Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179)
