Rudolf Steiner’s Calendar of the Soul Verse 50
Introduced by Dan and Gitli
Es Spricht zum Menschen-Ich,
Sich machtvoll offenbarend
Und seines Wesens Kräfte lösend,
Des Weltendaseins Werdelust:
In dich mein Leben tragend
Aus seinem Zauberbanne,
Erreiche ich mein wahres Ziel.
Releasing forces of its being
In mighty revelation,
World joy of becoming
Speaks to the human Ego:
Carrying my life in you
From its enchantment,
I achieve my true goal.

In this Spring verse cosmic joy speaks and releases its forces. Reaching its true goal, however, requires mediation by the human Ego. The cosmic joy’s life is carried by our Egos and released from its bondage. Just as the plants break through into the warmth of Spring, our Egos can enable cosmic joy in its further activity.
