In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music and dancing. When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best. Also, when we are dancing we are not aiming to arrive at a particular place on the floor as in a journey. When we dance, the journey itself is the point, as when we play music the playing itself is the point. And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  The Church has no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7139]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  The Church has no mission of its own. All we can have by ourselves is a club or a debating society; and our only hope, left to ourselves, is to win as many members for our own club and away from other clubs as we can. And whatever this is, it is not Mission. Mission belongs to God. The Mission was His from the beginning; it is His; it will always be His. He has His purposes from the foundation of the world, and the means to fulfill them; and the only part the Church has in this is obedience -- a share in the eternal and life-giving obedience of the Son of God... And the most terrible judgment on the Church comes when God leaves us to our own devices because He is tired of waiting for our obedience -- leaves us to be the domestic chaplains to a comfortable secular world -- and goes Himself into the wilderness of human need and injustice and pain. This judgment does come on churches and nations, when they forget that God is in command, that He does the choosing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7139</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19279]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1926]]></link><description><![CDATA[My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A promise is a cloud; fulfillment is rain ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48393]]></link><description><![CDATA[A promise is a cloud; fulfillment is rain]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Harmony is pure love, for love is a concerto. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Harmony is pure love, for love is a concerto.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are not responsible for every thought that goes wandering throughour mind.
