Week 7 Verse


  My self is threatening to fly forth,
  Lured strongly by the world's enticing light.
  Come forth, prophetic feeling,
  Take up with strength your rightful task:
  Replace in me the power of thought
  Which in the senses' glory
  Would gladly lose itself.
               -Rudolf Steiner

Week 6-Verse

  There has arisen from its narrow limits
  My self and finds itself
  As revelation of all worlds
  Within the sway of time and space;
  The world, as archetype divine,
  Displays to me at every turn
  The truth of my own likeness.
            -Rudolf Steiner
English translation by Ruth and Hans Pusch

Week 5 Verse

 Within the light that out of spirit depths
 Weaves germinating power into space
 And manifests the gods' creative work:
 Within its shine, the soul's true being
 Is widened into worldwide life
 And resurrected
 From narrow selfhood's inner power.
                      -Rudolf Steiner

Week 4- Verse


Week 4

  I sense a kindred nature to my own:
  Thus speaks perceptive feeling
  As in the sun-illuminated world
  It merges with the floods of light;
  To thinking's clarity
  My feeling would give warmth
  And firmly bind as one
  The human being and the world.

                    -Rudolf Steiner

Week 3- Verse

     
 
        

Thus to the World-All speaks,
In self-forgetfulness
And mindful of its primal state,
The growing human I:
In you, if I can free myself
From fetters of my selfhood,
I fathom my essential being.

-Rudolf Steiner

Week 2 Verse

  Out in the sense-world's glory
  The power of thought gives up
    its separate being,
  And spirit worlds discover
  Again their human offspring,
  Who germinates in them
  But in itself must find
  The fruit of soul.
                          -Rudolf Steiner

Almost Done...Cow and Goat

I have had so much fun with these two art canvases  The raw umber and burnt umber are colors I have fallen in love with.  I still have words to put on the the goat picture but it's all coming along.  Fun!
