the still point

Living with COVID-19. Guided meditation #2 (12:14 min.)

At the still point of the turning world. / Neither flesh nor fleshless; / Neither from nor towards; /at the still point, there the dance is, . . .

Where past and future are gathered. / Neither movement from nor towards, / Neither ascent nor decline. / Except for the point, the still point, / There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.

T.S. Eliot. (1936). “Burnt Norton II”, No. 1 of Four Quartets
