The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. 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/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45319]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever is done without ostentation, and without the people being witnesses of it, is, in my opinion, most praiseworthy: not that the public eye should be entirely avoided, for good actions desire to be placed in the light; but notwithstanding this, the greatest theater for virtue is conscience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the way of crop losses, theres some localized areas that had losses, but on a widespread basis, we missed ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35311]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the way of crop losses, theres some localized areas that had losses, but on a widespread basis, we missed the most significant damage,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sweet voice, a little indistinct and muffled, which caresses and does not thrill; an utterance which glides on without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60922]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sweet voice, a little indistinct and muffled, which caresses and does not thrill; an utterance which glides on without emphasis, and lays stress on what is deeply felt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, we're telling people to expect at least a half-hour delay if you're going to try to use the Homestead ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34020]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, we're telling people to expect at least a half-hour delay if you're going to try to use the Homestead Grays bridge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37966]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37966</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[and everything after that is just cost savings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34191]]></link><description><![CDATA[and everything after that is just cost savings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The human race has had long experience and a fine tradition in surviving adversity.

We merely prevent its leaking out at a certain point, with the likely result that it will leak out at some other point. Thus by denigrating prevailing beliefs and loyalties, the militant man of words unwittingly creates in the disillusioned masses a hunger for faith. For the majority of people cannot endure the barrenness and futility of their lives unless they have some ardent dedication, or some passionate pursuit in which they can lose themselves. Thus, in spite of himself, the scoffing man of words becomes the precursor of a new faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called "Huckleberry Finn." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25256]]></link><description><![CDATA[All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called "Huckleberry Finn."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The future lies before you, like paths of pure white snow.
