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://maxioms.com/maxiom/8537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doctrine is nothing but the skin of truth set up and stuffed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12623]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doctrine is nothing but the skin of truth set up and stuffed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many of the great achievements of the world were accomplished by tired and discouraged men who kept on working.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Waste not fresh tears over old griefs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18351]]></link><description><![CDATA[Waste not fresh tears over old griefs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created spring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63025]]></link><description><![CDATA[The day the Lord created hope was probably the same day he created spring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There goes Juantorena down the back straight, opening his legs and showing his class. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57643]]></link><description><![CDATA[There goes Juantorena down the back straight, opening his legs and showing his class.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57643</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lot of people like snow.
