We pray, too often, not to do God's will, but to enlist God's assistance in maintaining our "continually increasing consumption". And yet, though Christ promised that God would feed us, he never promised that God would stuff us to bursting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8370</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He'll be better because he'll understand the other position.

Melanctha was always being left when she was not leaving others. Melanctha Herbert always loved too hard and much too often. She was always full with mystery and subtle movements and denials and vague distrusts and complicated disillusions. Then Melanctha would be sudden and impulsive and unbounded in some faith, and then she would suffer and be strong in her repression. Melanctha Herbert was always seeking rest and quiet and always she could only find new ways to be in trouble.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think we dream so we don't have to be away from one another.

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[Teacher, tender comrade, wife, A fellow-farer true through life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61570]]></link><description><![CDATA[Teacher, tender comrade, wife, A fellow-farer true through life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed?
