Rudolf Steiner's beautiful meditative verses for the yearly cycle have been used by countless people over the years.Their purpose is to awaken a feeling of unity with nature, and at the same time to stimulate a discovery of self.In listening to the changing language of the year and awakening a profound sympathy for it, we can in turn discover our own individual nature.Steiner's original and unique meditations facilitate this process, leading to a healthy feeling of being at one with the natural world.This edition features Anne Stockton's 52 celebrated and evocative paintings, which are a wonderful complement to Steiner's text.Steiner's words are newly translated for this edition by John Thomson.
