I woke up to find a beautiful morning yesterday and took a few pictures to share (sorry about the finger in the 1st one). Anyway I walked around my place during a foggy frosty morning and snapped pictures until my fingers were numb. These pictures don't do what I saw as much justice as what I witnessed, but they do help to illuminate something I've been thinking about lately.
I've been reading Rudolf Steiner lately who was a very interesting many that published mountains of books, gave hundreds of lectures on the spiritual nature of the world. He stresses over and over the importance of spiritual truths. How one should think about them, ponder them, make them a part of one's soul. So that's what I've been doing. One that he speaks of quite often is as follows:
More radiant than the sun,
Purer than the snow
Subtler than the ether
Is the Self
the Spirit of my heart.
I am this Self
This self am I
It's amazing the amounts of meaning that can be found in this little verse. What I saw and felt yesterday morning is all summed up in it. The last picture was something that I only saw for a few minutes - there is some sort of name for the rays of light shining down like they are. I've seen it once at night with the moon, but the pictures didn't turn out. I guess it is more common in the Arctic regions, but hey this is Minnesota.
