It is only at this crossing point , which happens twice a year, that we meet with our brothers and sisters "down under" in Australia, New Zealand, etc. At all other times of the year, we are travelling on the opposite "lobes" of the lemniscate.
So, Happy "Easter" you lovey blokes and sheilas down under!

Natur, dein muetterliches Sein,=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

Dass sie gebaeren Selbstgefuehl,

THE MOOD OF MICHAELMAS
26th week: (September 29 - October 5)
Nature!
I hold your motherly essence
in the being of my will.
And the fiery power of my will
tempers my spiritual urges,
so that they may give birth
to the feeling of myself---
to hold my self within me.

HERBST27. Woche (6. - 12. Oktober)
In meines Wesens Tiefen dringen:
Erregt ein ahnungsvolles Sehnen,
Dass ich mich selbstbetrachtend finde,
Als Sommersonnengabe, die als Keim
In Herbestesstimmung waermend lebt
Als meiner Seele Kraeftetrieb.

AUTUMN27th week: (October 6 - 14)
A yearning,
filled with anticipation,
stirs within me---
so that I will find myself
by observing myself
as the gift of the summer sun,
which, as a seed,
incubating in the mood of autumn,
lives on as the impulse
of my soul forces.
