On September 17, in 1180 A.D., poet, composer and nun Hildegard Von Bingen died.
Hildegard created the word Viriditas to describe the intrinsic ability to heal of plants, people and God.
The word derives from the Latin adjective viridis meaning green. I believe that Hildegard's profoundly poetic imagination would also have had in mind the Latin noun vir meaning man.
My thoughts today on Hildegard's language lead me to think she thought of men as being green in a truly healing way.
God Bless Hildegard Von Bingen.
