Here is the next pair of Calendar of the Soul verses for this week
(#34) and its polar opposite (#19). Note how the verses have diverged from the lemniscate's crossing point at Michaelmas, (which is Verse #26 with Polar verse #27). We are moving towards Christmas (#38), which occurs right after the Winter Solstice and marks the bottom of the lemniscate. (St. John's Tide marks the top).

H'. 34. Woche (24. - 30. November)

Geheimnisvoll das Alt-Bewahrte
Mit neuerstand'nem Eigensein
Im Innern sich belebend fuehlen:
Es soll erweckend Weltenkraefte
In meines Lebens Aussenwerk ergiessen
Und werdend mich ins Dasein praegen.

H'. 34th week: (November 24 - 30)
|
Mysteriously,
my being is resurrected.
And I feel within myself
all that I have preserved
from the past--- alive again!
Awakening cosmic forces
shall pour into my life's
outer deeds!
And, evolving,
these forces shall stamp me
onto existence.

Geheimnisvoll das Neu-Empfang'ne
Mit der Erinnerung zu umschliessen,
Sei meines Strebens weit'rer Sinn.
Er soll erstarkend Eigenkraefte
In meinem Innern wecken
Und werdend mich mir selber geben.

S. 19th week: (August 11 - 17)
|
Mysteriously,
my memory is encompassed
by everything new I have received.
May all of it now become
the greater meaning of my striving---
Awakening in my inner being
my own ever-strengthening forces
which, ever-evolving,
give my own self
back to me.
