Here is the next installment of the Calendar of the Soul verses for this week (#12) and its polar opposite (#41). Note how the verses have diverged from the lemniscate's crossing point at Easter, (which is Verse #1 with Polar verse #52). We have reached St. John's Tide (#12), which occurs right after the Summer Solstice and marks the top of the lemniscate. (Christmas marks the bottom.)

12. Woche Johannes Stimmung. (24. Juni)
|
Der Welten Schoenheitsglanz,
Er zwinget mich aus Seelentiefen
Des Eigenlebens Goetterkraefte
Zum Weltenfluge zu entbinden;
Mich selber zu verlassen,
Vertraurend nur mich suchend
In Weltenlicht und Weltenwaerme.

12th Week St. John's Mood (June 24)
|
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.

41. Woche (12. - 18. Januar)
|
Der Seele Schaffensmacht,
Sie strebet aus dem Herzensgrunde,
Im Menschenleben Goetterkraefte
Zu rechtem Wirken zu entflammen,
Sich selber zu gestalten
In Menschenliebe und im Menschenwerke.

41st week (January 12 - 18)
|
My soul's creative power!---
Yearning from the bottom of my heart---
Ignites in human life
Divine forces,
Shapes itself in human love and deed
For the purpose of right action.
