Self-isolation, Day Three, being the Feast of Hildegard of Bingen

A beautiful, cloudless day in Edinburgh tests my commitment to self-isolation. What would Hildegard of Bingen have done? Well, she would have written some theology: I got a proposal off to a press. She would have made some music: I did some serious practice on Bach, Brahms, and Franck. She would have prayed: I followed the appointed prayer for my current jurisdiction . But would she have taken a walk? Here I think we must play the mystery card.
