The Verse for America

May our feeling penetrate
Into the center of our heart,
and seek, in love, to unite itself
with the human beings seeking the same goal,
with the spirit beings who - bearing grace,
strengthening us from realms of light
and illuminating our love -
are gazing down upon
our earnest, heart-felt striving.

by Rudolf Steiner

Knighthood of the 21st Century

There is a knighthood of the 21st century 

Whose riders do not ride through the darkness of physical forests, as 
Of old, but through the forest of darkened minds. 

They are armed with a spiritual armor, 
And an inner sun makes them radiant. 

Out of them shines healing, 
Healing that flows from the knowledge of the human being as a Spiritual being. 

They must create inner order, inner justice, 
Peace, and conviction in the darkness of our time. 

They must learn to work side by side with angels   

by Karl Konig, with adaptations from William Bento and Leslie Loy
