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[I must not say that she was true, Yet let me say that she was fair;  And they, that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3833]]></link><description><![CDATA[I must not say that she was true, Yet let me say that she was fair;  And they, that lovely face who view,   They should not ask if truth be there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We had our ups and downs this year like any season.

His insistence on taking seriously the gropings of all men for the truth about their lives must be allowed to remind the ecumenical movement that the word oikoumene is Greek not for "the Church" but for "the whole inhabited world". The ecumenical movement is more than Christian patriarchs kissing. Christian unity means the unity of mankind in finding and obeying God. Tillich can teach us that the Church must not shut its door to celebrate a family reunion while a single child of God remains outside.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short.
