At the turning-point of time,
The Spirit-Light of the World
Entered the stream of Earthly Evolution.
Darkness of Night had held its sway;
Day-radiant Light poured into the souls of men,
Light that gave warmth to simple shepherds’ hearts,
Light that enlightened the wise heads of kings.

O Light Divine! O Sun of [Creator]*!
Warm Thou our hearts,
Enlighten Thou our heads,
That good may become
What from our hearts we would found
And from our heads direct
With single purpose.

Rudolf Steiner, Christmas, 1923.

*original word Christ, but Creator resonates more for myself. Use what resonates for you.

As I read through Festivals and Their Meaning 1: Christmas, this verse has been hanging in my mind. I am just going to leave it here and not bring my words, feelings and thoughts to it so I leave space for it to create an individualized mood within you, my readers.

Until next time,
Marina
