For every week throughout the year Rudolf Steiner gave a special verse that would help us to understand our impulses both within ourselves and in connection with nature. For weekly updates of the Calendar of the Soul, click here to visit the Lili Kolisko Institute.
When out of world-wide spaces
The sun speaks to the human mind,
And gladness from the depths of soul
Becomes, in seeing, one with light,
Then rising from the sheath of self,
Thoughts soar to distances of space
And dimly bind
The human being to the spirit's life.
Week One – Northern Hemisphere – Spring
When from the depths of soul
The spirit turns to the life of worlds
And beauty wells from wide expanses,
Then out of heaven's distances
Streams life-strength into human bodies,
Uniting by its mighty energy
The spirit's being with our human life.
