In this I can act. And you may well say "act". For what I call "myself" (for all practical, everyday purposes) is also a dramatic construction; memories, glimpses in the shavinglass, and snatches of the very fallible activity called "introspection", are the principal ingredients. Normally I call this construction "me"' and the stage set "the real world". Now the moment of prayer is for me -- or involves for me as its condition -- the awareness, the reawakened awareness, that this "real world" and "real self" are very far from being rock-bottom realities. I cannot, in the flesh, leave the stage, either to go behind the scenes or to take my seat in the pit; but I can remember that these regions exist. And I also remember that my apparent self -- this clown or hero or super -- under his grease-paint is a real person with an off-stage life. The dramatic person could not tread the stage unless he concealed a real person: unless the real and unknown I existed, I would not even make mistakes about the imagined me. And in prayer this real I struggles to speak, for once, from his real being, and to address, for once, not the other actors, but -- what shall I call Him? The Author, for He invented us all? The Producer, for He controls all? Or the Audience, for He watches, and will judge, the performance?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20205]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it -- or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54166]]></link><description><![CDATA[Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54166</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures earlyin life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22694]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is the greatest practical benefit in making a few failures earlyin life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Creativity represents a miraculous coming together of the uninhibited energy of the child with its apparent opposite and enemy, the sense of order imposed on the disciplined adult intelligence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at allTogether we stand, divided we fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at allTogether we stand, divided we fall.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58452]]></link><description><![CDATA[The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Calamity is man's true touchstone ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12383]]></link><description><![CDATA[Calamity is man's true touchstone]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12383</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is an exciting time for the Rockets.
