Daily Delights




Thanksgiving Week began with a sunrise this morning  in Central California.




By early afternoon we were in southern California.





And I was amazed that the hydrangea were still blooming.

Week 13 Verse

And when I live in senses' heights,
  There flames up deep within my soul
  Out of the spirit's fiery worlds
  The gods' own word of truth:
  In spirit sources seek expectantly
  To find your spirit kinship.
                   by Rudolf Steiner

Week 12 Verse

  
St. John's Tide (June 24)
The radiant beauty of the world
Compels my inmost soul to free
God-given powers of my nature
That they may soar into the cosmos,
To take wing from myself
And trustingly to seek myself
In cosmic light and cosmic warmth.
written by Rudolf Steiner

Week 11 Verse

  In this the sun's high hour it rests
  With you to understand these words of wisdom:
  Surrender to the beauty of the world,
  Be stirred with new-enlivened feeling;
  The human I can lose itself
  And find itself within the cosmic I.
                                      -Rudolf Steiner

Week 10 Verse

  To summer's radiant heights
  The sun in shining majesty ascends;
  It takes my human feeling
  Into its own wide realms of space.
  Within my inner being stirs
  Presentiment which heralds dimly,
  You shall in future know:
  A godly being now has touched you.
                      -Rudolf Steiner

Week 9 Verse

   When I forget the narrow will of self,
  The cosmic warmth that heralds summer's glory
  Fills all my soul and spirit;
  To lose myself in light
  Is the command of spirit vision
  And intuition tells me strongly:
  O lose yourself to find yourself.
                 -Rudolf Steiner

Week 8 Verse


  The senses' might grows strong 
  United with the gods' creative work;
  It presses down my power of thinking
  Into a dreamlike dullness.
  When godly being
  Desires union with my soul,
  Must human thinking
  In quiet dream-life rest content.
                 -Rudolf Steiner
