Immense gratitude

 Roses, blossoms, the world blooming

bursting, thrusting upwards, outwards

Soul expanding, soul rising

embracing new growth, new beginnings

Spring to Summer, birth and growth

Deepening and strenghtening

Filled with gratitude

The work towards the fruition

Gratitude and immense satisfaction

for the recognition, reinforcing

The joy of being appreciated.

So blessed by all, the new home, the sea,

the land around and near me

the people of this community

The love and the ongoing work

The strong connections 

the giving and receiving

the growing and the blossoming

(Susannah)

The beauteous lustre of the world 

Compels me from the depth of soul 

That I release to cosmic flight

 The godly force of my own life: 

To leave myself below, 

And trusting, seek myself 

In cosmic light and cosmic warmth.

(Rudolf Steiner)

A Pagan gratitude prayer

To the East, for the new beginnings

 and the rising sun.

To the South, for the warmth, the summer,

 and the growing green.

To the West, for the evening, the waters, 

and the setting sun.

To the North, for the ancestors, the snows, and the grounding earth.

To the Above, the Father Sky 

and the starry realms.

To the Below, the Mother Earth 

and the roots of all things.

To the Center, our own hearts 

and the fire that lives within.

We give thanks to the wild spirits 

who dwell in these spaces.

We honor the winged, the crawling,

 the swimming, and the rooted ones.

All my relations.

28th May ~ Beach Singing Circle at sunset

Now that my senses are at home

 on high I hear my soul re-echo

 from her depths 

 A Fiery message from the gods 

 ‘Welcome the hint; 

 Seek your own deep relation to spirit 

 In the spirit’s own foundation”. 

 ~Calendar of the soul verse 13 by Rudolf Steiner

The splendor of Nature's beauty 

Lures me out of my soul depths 

To liberate for cosmic flight 

The divine forces of my own existence. 

To abandon myself, yet trusting 

And seeking myself alone 

In cosmic light, and cosmic warmth

Rudolf Steiner verses

Blissful moments

 Blissful moments

Time lapse, quiet phase

Cherishing the stillness

In this nourishing solitude

I thrive and I strive

To feel 

Alive

Like the New Moon

The air is so still

The sun is setting

The day feels sweet

My bones will rest soon

Blissful moments like this 

Let nature take its course

 

The seeker, the eager me, 

now I see, all in vain;

sweet surrender to the true me,

finding myself, again.

Here I stand, tall and true

on the path I know so well

Meaningful life, see every hue

This is where I like to tell

Of infinite threads woven together,

of stars, and light, of moon and sun,

my journey keeps weaving here and forever

where I ended and where I begun.

My destiny, my karma, my duty and my skill

to follow the whispers of  the gentle wind

to love and cherish the gifts of nature, still

to continue to live in peace and offer kind

words of wisdom, songs and prayers

with no regrets and no remorse,

let nature take its course

and always listen to the flowers

Susannah

All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature.

— Rudolf Steiner
