Here is the next installment of the Calendar of the Soul verses for this week (#11) and its polar opposite (#42). Note how the verses have diverged from the lemniscate's crossing point at Easter, (which is Verse #1 with Polar verse #52). We are now just 1 week from St. John's Tide (#12), which occurs right after the Summer Solstice and marks the top of the lemniscate. (Christmas marks the bottom.)

11. Woche (16. - 22. Juni)
|
Es ist in dieser Sonnenstunde
An dir, die weise Kunde zu erkennen:
An Weltenschoenheit hingegeben,
In dir dich fuehlend zu durchleben:
Verlieren kann das Menschen-Ich
Und finden sich im Welten-Ich.

11th week: (June 16 - 22)
|
In this, the 'Hour of the Sun,'
it is up to you to realize
the tidings of wisdom.
Surrendered to the world's beauty,
feeling yourself within yourself,
you are to experience this:
the human *I* can lose itself---
then find itself in the cosmic *I*.

42. Woche (19. - 25. Januar)

Es ist in diesem Winterdunkel
Die Offenbarung eigner Kraft
der Seele starker Trieb,
In Finsternisse sie zu lenken
Und ahnend vorzufuehlen
Durch Herzenswaerme Sinnesoffenbarung.

42nd week: (January 19 - 25)
|
In this gloom of winter,
my soul's own strength is revealed
in its yearning urge to pass through
darkness and oblivion---
to feel its way forward---
anticipating the dawn
of sense revelation
through the warmth
of my heart.
