This is the more abundant life which, in its own particular language and own particular way, it calls us to live. Because it is our part in the one life in the whole universe of spirits, our share in the great drive towards Reality, the tendency of all life to seek God Who made it for Himself and now incites and guides it, we are already adapted to it. 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[What parents said they valued most were discussions with teachers and heads, and what they wanted was more descriptive information ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31086]]></link><description><![CDATA[What parents said they valued most were discussions with teachers and heads, and what they wanted was more descriptive information in their children's school reports.
