World Beauty Strengthens Me
In the full bloom of summer, the natural beauty of the world enchants us in a dream-like state. We feel the Spirit's weaving through nature and ourselves. Our senses extend out into the Spiritual world as if blindly groping in this dreamy state of being.
Yet in this entrancement of world glory, we are filled with new strength as we draw the power of the Spirit down into the sheaths of the body. In this way, we are graced with Spiritual power that we cannot generate within ourselves alone. We must then carry these Spiritual forces with us into the autumn as the outer world begins to wither.
Practice the Calendar verses to entrain with the rhythms of the seasons. Together, we will radiate these forces out into society through our moral words and deeds of brotherly love. Rudolf Steiner's verses for the 52 weeks of the calendar are here on our website, together with Rudolf Steiner's original German text and several other translations: Rudolf Steiner, The Anthroposophical Calendar.
