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/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is the sun dimmed, that gnats do fly in it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51498]]></link><description><![CDATA[Is the sun dimmed, that gnats do fly in it?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think before you speak the other guy gets its joke in first. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28044]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you think before you speak the other guy gets its joke in first.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45045]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Gods cannot help those who do not seize opportunities]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak the truth, but leave immediately after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speak the truth, but leave immediately after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As you know, God is usually on the side of the big squadrons against the small.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64345]]></link><description><![CDATA[As you know, God is usually on the side of the big squadrons against the small.rn]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64345</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I can resist anything except temptation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58920]]></link><description><![CDATA[I can resist anything except temptation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a cop-out to say 'it was one of those things' because the players are better than that.

Take from me all slothfulness, and give me a diligent and an active spirit, and wisdom to choose my employment; that I may do works proportionable to my person and to the dignity of a Christian, and may fill up all the spaces of my time with actions of religion and charity; that, when the devil assaults me, he may not find me idle; and my dearest Lord, at his sudden coming, may find me busy in lawful, necessary, and pious actions, improving my talent entrusted to me by thee, my Lord; that I may enter into the joy of my Lord, to partake of his eternal felicities, even for thy mercy's sake, and for my dearest Saviour's sake.
