The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Frederick Buechner,'Whistling in the Dark' When a child is born, a father is born.

A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it's a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what's happening. She becomes what's happening. But for even the best-prepared father, it happens all at once. On the other side of a plate-glass window, a nurse is holding up something roughly the size of a loaf of bread for him to see for the first time. Even if he should decide to abandon it forever ten minutes later, the memory will nag him to the grave. He has seen the creation of the world. It has his mark on it. He has its mark on him. Both marks are, for better or for worse, indelible. All sons, like all daughters, are prodigals if they're smart. Assuming the Old Man doesn't run out on them first, they will run out on him if they are to survive, and if he's smart he won't put up too much of a fuss. A wise father sees all this coming, and maybe that's why he keeps his distance from the start. He must survive too. Whether they ever find their way home again, none can say for sure, but it's the risk he must take if they're ever to find their way at all. In the meantime, the world tends to have a soft spot in its heart for lost children. Lost fathers have to fend for themselves. Even as the father lays down the law, he knows that someday his children will break it as they need to break it if ever they're to find something better than law to replace it. Until and unless that happens, there's no telling the scrapes they will get into trying to lose him and find themselves. Terrible blnders will be made-dissapointments and failures, hurts and losses of every kind. And they'll keep making them even after they've found themselves too, of course, because growing up is a process that goes on and on. And every hard knock they ever get, knocks the father even harder still, if that's possible, and if and when they finally come through more or less in one piece at the end, there's maybe no rejoicing greater than his in all creation. -Fatherhood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Art and science have their meeting point in method. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Art and science have their meeting point in method.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One must be frank to be relevant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16624]]></link><description><![CDATA[One must be frank to be relevant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suicide is a permanent solutionto a temporary problem(quoted by Judy Collins on Diane Rehm Show). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58222]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suicide is a permanent solutionto a temporary problem(quoted by Judy Collins on Diane Rehm Show).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[During his lifetime, when he was insulted or encountered offensive behavior, he did not respond with rage or violence.
