Between Melting and Freezing
 | Between Melting and Freezing |
How do we find moments of rest, times of peace, in a fast-paced, crisis-torn world? In a passage from the Four Quartets, T. S. Eliot writes: “Between melting and freezing / The soul’s sap quivers. / The dumb spirit stirs.” This poet, who is part of our UU tradition, has wisdom to offer us about living in the “between” times.
