Welcome to kyrie.com, a site for those who seek to remain in that space between the outer and inner life, between being active and contemplative, and to 
find, in the words of Thomas Merton, how "we can become what we already are".

In the words of T.S. Eliot (Little Gidding V, Four Quartets, 1943)

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all out exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half heard, in the stillness
Between the two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always--
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of things shall be well
When the tongues of flame are in-folded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one.

Why kyrie.com? Kyrie is the Greek word for "Lord". It will be familiar to those old enough to remember the Latin Mass and the penitential verses  "Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison, Kyrie Eleison" (Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy). It is interesting to note that these Greek words were a part of the old Latin Mass. Kyrie is the name of this website because this site is about  the principal message of Jesus and at the heart of all the world religions, a call to transformation, a revolutionary turning to God however we know and name Being, and grounded in the knowledge of who we truly are.
