Novalis, edited with an introduction by Donald Melcer, PhD, professsor emeritus at Michigan State University, a clinical psychologist and marriage and family therapist. He coordinates the anthroposophical foundation studies at the Austin (Texas) Waldorf School. This issue is an invitation for you to read what Rudolf Steiner and authors with anthroposophical backgrounds have to say about the poet-philosopher- scientist Novalis. Rudolf Steiner observed that reading Novalis’ work provides heartfelt knowledge of the heavenly splendor that exists within even the simplest of material things. Such an appreciation of everything of the earth and the secrets they contain will open the way for each of us to be true servants of the Michael Thought, “worthy helpers of what has now to enter Earth-evolution through anthroposophy.”
