HILDEGARD VON BINGEN
1098–1179
Viriditas (The Vow of Calm)
Hildegard: the green vitality of the world, the life-force of God flowing through creation. CoCA's Vow of Calm (§1.2.1) is viriditas in office wear. Calm is not stillness; it is the slow green pressure of life moving through the meeting. The meeting room is the garden. The agenda is the soil. The Concept grows. We tend.
