This Creature Too

Every creature is a glimmering,
glistening mirror of Divinity.
Hildegard of Bingen

As a nun, visionary, and writer
   who lived in the twelfth century,
      Hildegard absolutely knew:
Every creature shines with divinity.
Every creature radiates sacredness.
Every creature reflects its Creator.
Every single creature.
That includes grandsons,
   freshly born yesterday,
      freshly reflecting today.
