TS Eliot
In this brief transit where the dreams cross
the dream-crossed twilight between birth and dying…
Ash Wednesday
(Sorry about all the ads on this link but the poem is worth it.)
[Possible Lenten sacrifices for this "brief transit": Take it on not to lie – not a bit and not about anything. Don’t flatter anyone, be honest but kind, and speak less – altogether. Try accepting what is put before you without picking and choosing the parts you like. You may not do any of these things perfectly – but both failure and success will teach you.]
