And that context, astounding even to bodily eyes is the heaven of stars and the incredible procession of the great galaxies. Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence Science's view of intelligence itself has begun to change. Historically, "intelligence" has been defined simply as mental capacity. Some have even proposed that it is, therefore, fixed, finite, and genetically predetermined. Now it appears intelligence has other dimensions as well, physiologically and emotionally.

Like ships storm-driven into port, like starving souls that seek the bread they once despised, like wanderers begging refuge from the whelming night, like prodigals that seek the father's home when all is spent;  yet welcomed at the open door, arms outstretched and kisses for our shame;  so is our coming unto Thee, 0 God. Like flowers uplifted to the sun, like trees that bend before the storm, like sleeping seas that mirror cloudless skies, like a harp to the hand, like an echo to a cry, like a song to the heart;  for all our stubbornness, our failure, and our sin:  so would we have been to Thee, O God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6451</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her joy in coaching these young women made them believe in themselves and depend on each other.
