Hi,
Your tagline/sig caught my eye and triggered some recollection. I Googled it and found "Little Gidding." Amazing. Thanks for the trigger....;-).
I especially liked (and remembered) these lines:
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always--
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flames are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.
(Emphasis mine.)
