The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. 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/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mental stains can not be removed by time, nor washed away by any waters. [Lat., Animi labes nec diuturnitate vanescere ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61538]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mental stains can not be removed by time, nor washed away by any waters. [Lat., Animi labes nec diuturnitate vanescere nec omnibus ullis elui potest.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enlarge the opportunity and the person will expand to fill it ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45094]]></link><description><![CDATA[Enlarge the opportunity and the person will expand to fill it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45094</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Famous people state fame as a cruse and those who have it not look upon it as a dream, hance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Famous people state fame as a cruse and those who have it not look upon it as a dream, hance dreams are cruses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Much learning does not teach understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64894]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much learning does not teach understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2041]]></link><description><![CDATA[Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took some precautions in case the court would want to visualize the real situation on the ground.
