37. Woche (15. - 21. Dezember)

Zu tragen Geisteslicht in Weltenwinternacht
Erstrebet selig meines Herzens Trieb,
Dass leuchtend Seelenkeime
In Weltengruenden wurzeln,
Und Gotteswort im Sinnesdunkel
Verklaerend alles Sein durchtoent.

This is the blissful striving of my heart's desire:
To carry the light of the spirit
into the cosmic winter night,
so that sparkling seeds of my soul
may take root in cosmic soil---
and that the Word of God may resound
through the darkness of my senses,
transfiguring my entire existence.

Zu bergen Geistgeschenk im Innern,
Gebietet strenge mir mein Ahnen,
Dass reifend Gottesgaben
In Seelen gruenden fruchtend
Der Selbstheit Fruechte bringen.

My intuition firmly commands me:
"Bury the spirit's treasures within you
so that these ripening gifts of God,
growing in the soil of your soul,
may bring forth the very fruits
of your own selfhood."
