-O Nobilissima Viriditas... “O most noble greenness, you whose roots are in the sun and who shine in bright serenity in a wheel that no earthly eminence can comprehend.” Hildegard von Bingen+O Nobilissima Viriditas... “O most noble greenness, you whose roots are in the sun and who shine in bright serenity in a wheel that no earthly eminence can comprehend.” - Hildegard von Bingen
  
-Inwardness is the characteristic feature of the vegetable rather than the animal approach to existence. The animals move, migrate and swarm, while plants hold fast. Plants live in a dimension characterised by solid state, the fixed and the enduring. If there is movement in the consciousness of plants then it must be the movement of spirit and attention in the domain of vegetal imagination. (...) This is the truth that the shamans have always known and practiced. Awareness of the green side of mind was called Veriditas by the twelfth century visionary Hildegard Von Bingen. Terrence McKenna+Inwardness is the characteristic feature of the vegetable rather than the animal approach to existence.

-"Look at the pattern this seashell makes. The dappled whorl, curving inward to infinity. That's the shape of the universe itself. There's a constant pressure, pushing toward pattern. A tendency in matter to evolve into ever more complex forms. It's a kind of pattern gravity, a holy greening power we call viriditas, and it is the driving force in the cosmos. Life, you see..."

-“(...) also honour the stability of the world: the orbits of the Sun and the Moon, winds and air, earth and water... We have no other foothold. If we give up this world we shall be destroyed by demons and deprived of the angels' protection”. Hildegard von Bingen+“(...) also honour the stability of the world: the orbits of the Sun and the Moon, winds and air, earth and water... We have no other foothold. If we give up this world we shall be destroyed by demons and deprived of the angels' protection”. -Hildegard von Bingen
  
 Viriditas, a word coined by Hildegard von Bingen and more recently used by science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson, describes the green force of life, expanding into the Universe. The final movement of Shattering Suns is a dance of life: a rhythmic outburst acting as a pendant to the opening, chaotic explosion of a dying star in the first movement. Mixed meters and fast, ascending scales combine to produce a feeling of rushing forward, joyfully, to greet the unknown. Viriditas, a word coined by Hildegard von Bingen and more recently used by science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson, describes the green force of life, expanding into the Universe.
