You might experiment with using the cultivation of generosity asa vehicle for deep self-observation and inquiry as well as an exercise ingiving. A good place to start is with yourself. See if you can giveyourself gifts that may be true blessings, such as self-acceptance, orsome time each day with no purpose. Practice feeling deserving enough toaccept these gifts without obligation-to simply receive from yourself, andfrom the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A college joke to cure the dumps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23245]]></link><description><![CDATA[A college joke to cure the dumps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beneath the milk-white thorn that scents the evening gale. from the poemThe Cotter’s Saturday Night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45393]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beneath the milk-white thorn that scents the evening gale. from the poemThe Cotter’s Saturday Night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45393</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fanatics have their dreams, wherewith they weave a paradise for a sect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15274]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fanatics have their dreams, wherewith they weave a paradise for a sect.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dominic, Priest, Founder of the Order of Preachers, 1221 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ: If ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dominic, Priest, Founder of the Order of Preachers, 1221 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ: If it be all for naught, for nothingness At last, why does God make the world so fair? Why spill this golden splendor out across The western hills, and light the silver lamp Of eve? Why give me eyes to see, and soul To love so strong and deep? Then, with a pang This brightness stabs me through, and wakes within Rebellious voice to cry against all death? Why set this hunger for eternity To gnaw my heartstrings through, if death ends all? If death ends all, then evil must be good, Wrong must be right, and beauty ugliness.  God is a Judas who betrays His Son, And with a kiss, damns all the world to hell, -- If Christ rose not again.   ... Unknown soldier, killed in World War I  August 9, 2002 Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921 Concluding a short series of verse on Christ: With this ambiguous earth his dealings have been told us. These abide:    The signal to a maid, the human birth,    The lesson, and the young Man crucified. But not a star of all the innumerable host of stars has heard    How he administered this terrestrial ball.    Our race has kept their Lord's entrusted Word. Of his earth-visiting feet none knows the secret, cherished, perilous,    The terrible, shamefast, frightened, whispered, sweet,    Heart-shattering secret of his way with us. No planet knows that this, our wayside planet, carrying land and wave,    Love and life multiplied, and pain and bliss,    Bears, as its chief treasure, one forsaken grave. Nor, in our little day, may his devices with the heavens be guessed,    His pilgrimage to thread the Milky Way    Or his bestowal there be manifest. But in the eternities, doubtless we shall compare    Together, hear a million alien Gospels, in what guise    He trod the Pleiades, the Lyre, and the Bear. O, be prepared, my soul! To read the inconceivable, to scan    The million forms of God those stars unroll    When, in our turn, we show to them a Man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550  In a Christian community, everything depends upon whether each ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8582]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Benedict of Nursia, Father of Western Monasticism, c.550  In a Christian community, everything depends upon whether each individual is an indispensable link in a chain. Only when even the smallest link is securely interlocked is the chain unbreakable. A community which allows unemployed members to exist within it will perish because of them. It will be well, therefore, if every member receives a definite task to perform for the community, that he may know in hours of doubt that he, too, is not useless and unusable. Every Christian community must realize that not only do the weak need the strong, but also that the strong cannot exist without the weak. The elimination of the weak is the death of the fellowship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8582</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has never been so bad, that it couldn't be worse... ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43241]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has never been so bad, that it couldn't be worse...]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So I decided to make my own pizza sauce from my own homegrown produce during the following canning season, ... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31138]]></link><description><![CDATA[So I decided to make my own pizza sauce from my own homegrown produce during the following canning season, ...

It may be useful, too, to lay bare all the feelings, thoughts, and longings which are the result of your depression before some spiritual advisor, in all humility and faithfulness; to seek the society of spiritually minded people, and to frequent such as far as possible while you are suffering. And finally, resign yourself into God's hands, endeavoring to bear this harassing depression patiently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7051</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61904]]></link><description><![CDATA[The woman who tells her age is either too young to have anything to lose or too old to have anything to gain]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61904</guid></item></channel></rss>
