Honor the space between no longer and not yet

Honor the space between no longer and not yet.  — Nancy Levin

Honor the space between no longer and not yet.



We are a bridge
Between what is past
And future existence;
The present is an instant —
Is momentary bridge.
Spirit become soul
In enfolding matter
Is from the past;
Soul becoming spirit
In germinal vessels
Is on the path to the future.
Grasp what is to come
Through what is past;
Have hope of what is growing
Through what has emerged.
And so apprehend
Existence in growing;
And so apprehend
What is growing in what is.

            

             —Rudolf Steiner


from Unbornness by Peter Selg
