It’s a quote, or even a verse (no?), I’m not sure, by Steiner (certainly, can’t be anyone else, can it?). It was on a blackboard, and I wanted to know what it was. However, to thwart my intentions, the picture was silently but resolutely invaded by nature, reflections of wild, green jungle. In a sense, the picture (and its purpose) was completely destroyed. In another sense, it was highly appropriate it was destroyed in that particular way; it’s the way I like it the best. The photo is not very new, if anyone wonders.
I couldn’t read it without viewing the full size version of the photo, but here’s the text I have deciphered (it may contain flaws, mine or somebody else’s, even Steiner’s…):
‘Die kunst ist ein / fortdauernder /Befreiungsprozess des / menschlichen Geistes / un zugleich / Erzieherin der / Menschheit zu / dem Handeln / aus Liebe’
Of course, I could google it, but that wouldn’t be half as fun, would it? It wouldn’t be a game, and I want a game. It’s a well-known quote (or verse), no doubt. Why do you think it was on the blackboard?
And do you know what I like? The black clock on the wall. The pink walls, the green jungle, the quote on the blackboard, inside and outside merging — and time. And then the anthroposophical water-colour painting — and below it, the red fire extinguisher sign.
And — ha! — I didn’t think about that, but at least half the verse is probably there in Swedish, to the left.
Not that it matters — I suspect everybody is asleep today!! Which is good. But… it’s so funny. Sometimes there are so many comments I can’t keep up (talking generally now, this post has got nothing to do with it) and then it’s like, as sudden as it burst into action, the blog falls back into hibernation, like a satiated, sleepy bear.
