Calender of the Soul reading by John Jackson
Verse 38 Midwinter
To carry spirit light into world winter night
Strives blessedly the impulse of my heart
That soul seeds , brightly shining,
Take root within world grounds
And God-Word in the senses darkness,
Transfiguring, sounds throughout all being.

Translation by Julian Pook 2020

Talk: Rachel Pomeroy will discuss the special qualities of midwinter, and why we lay the biodynamic preparations in the earth over this time.
