Homework:Love and Its Meaning In The World” - R. Steiner; 17 December 1912, Zurich. While this is not a prerequisite for joining the gathering, your voice will deepen our engagement with this astounding text on love. We will use the following quote as a focal point for our meditation together:

Love is the “moral” sun of the world. Interest in the earth’s evolution is the necessary antecedent of love. A Spiritual Science without love would be a danger for humanity. Without sense-born love, nothing material comes into the world; without spiritual love, nothing spiritual. Creative forces unfold through love. We owe our existence to deeds of love wrought in the past. To pay off debts through deeds of love is therefore wisdom.
