“May these meditative verses find a special place in your heart for they contain what brings the soul to life and reflects in a living way the relationship between the soul and the macrocosm”
Rudolf Steiner, Earthly and Cosmic Man, 23rd April 1912, GA133.
In his introduction to the second edition of his Soul Calendar in 1918 Rudolf Steiner writes:
“The cycle of the year has a life of its own and this life can be accompanied by the human soul. By participating and allowing what changes week by week in the course of the year to work upon us, we will truly be able to find ourselves. The soul will then feel how forces within her are being inwardly strengthened. She will discover that such forces can be awakened by participating in the course of the year as it unfolds over time. The delicate yet vitally important threads that connect us with the world into which we have been born, then become visible.
In this calendar a verse has been composed for each week so that the soul can experience what is happening that week in the life of the whole year. The verses seek to show how the soul responds to the changes in the year’s cycle of life. The intention is to achieve a healthy “feeling of oneness” with the processes of nature and through that come to a strong “finding of oneself”, based on the premise that accompanying the cycle of the year with these verses is something which the soul would long for if she could but understand herself.”
