POD (Poem Of the Day)

I feel the fire burning – my thoughts spark the flame
A voice calls out the question
Echoing my name
Hidden in dark chambers – a purpose dwells deep
Be patient to unveil Her
What is unlocked, will never sleep
Where is Love to pulse in tempo
Pain ringing the alarm: What you reap, this you sow
Then will the seed be watered, & then begin to grow
So crack the code to Freedom
From the heart a rhythmic flow
To let the Sun of Wisdom speak
A cosmic anthem we all know

27 August 2023 – “Speaking with the Stars”: Earth flies between the sun and Saturn on placing the ringed planet opposite the sun – at opposition – in our sky. Saturn at opposition is in the dim constellation Aquarius the Water Bearer. In addition, if you have a dark sky, you can see the dim but pretty constellation Capricornus the Sea-goat. It has the shape of an arrowhead. Indeed, you can see them crossing the sky all night, traveling along the ecliptic, the same path the sun travels during the day. Also, the bright star Fomalhaut is nearby.

RUDOLF STEINER’S CALENDAR OF THE SOUL
translated (with added titles) by Roy Sadler
At times I imagine the Calendar’s verse development as if it were a human biography, with each verse number having a meaning in itself.
The senses’ dream in early summer can resemble child experience, new gifts and beginnings in the second quarter teenage creative imagination, v20 is like a trial to become adult (Overcoming Lucifer) and now v21, the magic 3×7, offers the key to the door that opens life’s destiny in its mirror verse, 32: 4×8.
After 52 years can the 53rd birthday become a resurrection that ‘unites with light as one’ and proceeds through the years of verses with conscious destiny?

AUTUMN PRELUDE I
The Key To Selfhood’s Door
v21
I feel a strange new strengthening,
fruit-bearing power of becoming;
I sense the seed maturing
and on a starlit loom
a dawning vision weaving
the pathway to my real being.

ALL HALLOWTIDE III
The Gift Of Destiny
v32
I feel my own fruit-bearing power
present me to the world
and strengthen my innate intent
to turn towards the clarity
within life’s web of destiny
