It’s been years since I’ve read it (actually, decades) but I remember that Coleridge (the author) stated that the sailors were one day mad at the man who shot the albatross, blaming him for their fate. Then the next day they were happy with the fact that he shot the albatross. So, the conclusion was that had they chosen one or the other and stuck to it (cold or hot, as you said) they’d have been better off than being in the middle and not really standing for much of anything! They were punished for their lukewarm attitude.

Great homily!
Ave Maria .. Jen
