The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If my film makes one more person miserable, I've done my job ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43330]]></link><description><![CDATA[If my film makes one more person miserable, I've done my job]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who know do not speak.
