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[We may never see base salary increases in the mid-to-upper 4 percent range again. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39797]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may never see base salary increases in the mid-to-upper 4 percent range again.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You must be the change you wish to see in the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5529]]></link><description><![CDATA[You must be the change you wish to see in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap  Of murky buildings: ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57182]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Solitude! if I must with thee dwell, Let it not be among the jumbled heap  Of murky buildings: climb with me the steep,--   Nature's observatory--whence the dell,    In flowery slopes, its river's crystal swell,     May seem a span; let me thy vigils keep      'Mongst boughs pavilion'd, where the deer's swift leap       Startles the wild bee from the foxglove bell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57182</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We feel he'll be a great fit for our team, ...
