Easter – a celebration of hope, renewal, and peace. In this special time, I’m reminded of the words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
“The world is so beautiful, so vast,
and peace is woven into its robe.
But deep within my heart, quiet and clear,
I find peace – with you, so near.”
True peace begins within. In our hearts – not in the noise of the world.
And this inner peace is the foundation for everything we wish to create outwardly:
- a free society,
- loving relationships,
- a world in harmony with nature.
Easter is more than just a date on the calendar.
It is a powerful symbol of resurrection – of light that follows darkness, of the new arising from the old, of freedom that blossoms through awakening.
Rudolf Steiner described Easter as a cosmic event that deeply connects us to the spiritual:
“If I have united myself with the power of Christ,
then my soul too flows outward with the exhaling force of the Earth’s soul
into the cosmic expanses and receives the power of the sun…”
— Rudolf Steiner, GA 223
What does that mean?
It means: When we connect – with ourselves, with the Earth, with the Christ-force within – then we can blossom anew on all levels. It is the moment when separation turns back into connection, fear into trust, stagnation into movement.
I wish you a joyful and mindful Easter.
Stay connected. Stay free. Stay courageous in your heart.
Because every new world begins with a single thought – and an open heart.
Yours,
Michael
