Just as a fish is adapted to life in the sea. This view of our situation fills us with a certain awed and humble gladness. It delivers us from all niggling fuss about ourselves, prevents us from feeling self-important about our own little spiritual adventures; and yet makes them worth while as part of one great spiritual adventure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts.
