I’m trying to relax for this evening’s rehearsal.

I had a very weird dream last night. I dreamed that I was in a war and that all of the shooting was in rhythm and musical pitches. The fighting was in planes overheard in the dream.

Then I heard someone speaking like in a play. “Teach us to pray and not to pray. Teach us to sit still,” it said. I told the person next to me that was a quote from T. S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral.

When i woke up I realized it was a misquote from T. S. Eliot’s Ash Wednesday.

The original was “teach us to care and not care… Teach us to sit still”

Weird stuff in my head.

  1. I found this because I too misremembered the line as “teach us to pray and not to pray. teach us to sit still.” It’s way better advice as he wrote it than as we dredged it up!
