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://maxioms.com/maxiom/45524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; every little absence is an age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love reckons hours for months, and days for years; every little absence is an age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You don't want to get the same kind of advice from everyone on your board. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15860]]></link><description><![CDATA[You don't want to get the same kind of advice from everyone on your board.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This breakthrough is a diplomatic plus for Pakistan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36341]]></link><description><![CDATA[This breakthrough is a diplomatic plus for Pakistan.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the timeout we talked about that we had fouls to burn -- 'Be very aggressive on every pass, get ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28192]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the timeout we talked about that we had fouls to burn -- 'Be very aggressive on every pass, get after your man,' and that's what happened.

But this tension is not something that concerns the Church and the world as though they are things which exist outside us and apart from us, which we can consider and observe and discuss and have theories about. The tension between the Church and the world exists within us and is the very fiber of our being, and neither the one nor the other is superficial or trivial. For we are, all of us, of the earth, earthy; and we are also baptized members of Christ and His Church. It is precisely because we belong to two worlds that our lives consist in insecurity -- that we are, in fact, a drama, the final act of which, the judgement of reward or punishment, heaven or hell, is hidden from us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should not be surprised that we find meaningless noises in the foundation of many old ‘philosophies’, and that from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24231]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should not be surprised that we find meaningless noises in the foundation of many old ‘philosophies’, and that from them arise most of the old ‘philosophical’ fights and arguments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65302]]></link><description><![CDATA[Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life and forms of government.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again.
