A Michaelmas Thought

Submitted by John Ralph on Mon, 09/29/2008 - 6:16am.

As a contribution to this festival day, I offer a reminder of the mighty task before us: to hold the wellbeing of the world (and its environment) within our self-aware activity. 
 
Mother Nature, your sustaining presence
I bear deep within my will               
And my will’s fiery vigour
Can temper my impulsive mind,                 
Evoking self-awareness  
To hold me wholly in me.
 
-- Rudolf Steiner, Calendar of the Soul: 26 (trans. JR)--end
