"Home" is where we start from. As we grow older
The world becomes stranger, the pattern more complicated
Of dead and living. Not the intense moment
Isolated, with no before and after,
But a lifetime burning in every moment
And not the lifetime of one man only
But of old stones that cannot be deciphered.
There is a time for the evening under lamplight
(The evening with the photograph album.)
Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.

Love is most nearly itself
When here and now cease to matter.
Old men ought to be explorers
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
Here or there does not matter
We must be still and still moving
Into another intensity
....for a deeper communion.....
T. S. Eliot
from East Coker V, Four Quartets

Still your mind in me, still yourself in me
and you shall be united with me,
the One Love, dwelling in your heart.
and you shall be united with me,
the One Love, dwelling in your heart.
