This is one of my two favourite German poems (in German it is called "Stufen"). <br />The other one is Rilke`s "Autumn".Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-1388864537190347012012-08-08T15:51:33.235-04:002012-08-08T15:51:33.235-04:00Angela - thank you!
STEPS by Herman Hesse
As eve...Angela - thank you!<br /><br />STEPS by Herman Hesse<br /><br />As every blossom fades<br />and all youth sinks into old age,<br />so every life’s design, each flower of wisdom,<br />attains its prime and cannot last forever.<br />The heart must submit itself courageously<br />to life’s call without a hint of grief,<br />A magic dwells in each beginning,<br />protecting us, telling us how to live.<br /><br />High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm,<br />cleaving to none as to a home,<br />the world of spirit wishes not to fetter us<br />but raise us higher, step by step.<br />Scarce in some safe accustomed sphere of life<br />have we establish a house, then we grow lax;<br />only he who is ready to journey forth<br />can throw old habits off.<br /><br />Maybe death’s hour too will send us out new-born<br />towards undreamed-lands,<br />maybe life’s call to us will never find an end<br />Courage my heart, take leave and fare thee well.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-9745438055046751572012-08-08T15:49:10.529-04:002012-08-08T15:49:10.529-04:00Yes I must find the Hesse poem.

Dancing in shamanic alignment? I don't know. Must find the Hesse poem.)Rebecca Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494730619850791609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-29376103277451926102012-08-08T13:54:04.360-04:002012-08-08T13:54:04.360-04:00You are really not stopping half way!

There is certainly something (or someone?) waiting for you on that next step onward on this life ladder. (You do know that Hesse poem, called STEPS I`m sure?) You are getting rid of ballast. There MUST be a new challenge for you. I am curious.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.com
