People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away,  The earth goes down into a vale of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every winter, When the great sun has turned his face away,  The earth goes down into a vale of grief,   And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables,    Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay--     Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So far this year, 15 have already resigned, and it's only March. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38595]]></link><description><![CDATA[So far this year, 15 have already resigned, and it's only March.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38595</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Bridget of Sweden, Abbess of Vadstena, 1373 "In pastures green"?

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee.
