Little Gidding Church, interior

You are not here to verify,
Instruct yourself, or to inform curiosity
Or carry report. You are here to kneel
Where prayer has been valid. And prayer is more
Than an order of words, the conscious occupation
Of the praying mind, or the sound of the voice praying.
T S Eliot, Little Gidding

In the same section of this poem, Eliot writes:
Here, the intersection of the timeless moment
Is England and nowhere. Never and always.

Sitting here, my sense of a timeless moment, and that 'history is a pattern of timeless moments', is very strong.

And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well.
