When the young green sprouts up and all spring shoots awaken, then the feeling awakens within us that the slumbering seed of the spirit will awaken in us.—Rudolf Steiner
As the earth comes to life and the sunlight flows through nature, our life of feeling awakens. The light warms our lonely, winter thinking as we emerge from winter isolation. With a sense of clarity we, like flowers blooming, begin to open to the world of the senses.
Every Easter, we have the opportunity to resurrect our souls like the foliage of the earth. Rudolf Steiner offered this new Anthroposophical Calendar to help us align with the rhythms of the seasons that we might develop more fully as human beings capable of radiating the power of the higher Worlds 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 Calendar of the Soul.
