Flowers, plants, trees, stones, animals - all are remedies of God´s creation.
Nature is not simply nature but the creation of a loving God. It is shaped by the love of its creator and wants to help us.
The herbs offer each other the scent of their flowers;
one stone shines on the other
and every creature has a primordial instinct after a loving hug.
All of nature is at the service of man,
and in this love service
she happily puts her goods on his heart.
Hildegard of Bingen, Liber vitae meritorum.
