The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn March 16, 2000 Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  I have called my material surroundings a stage set. 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/8496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do, and if you don't believe drugs ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13022]]></link><description><![CDATA[See I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do, and if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and burn 'em.

It is because the word "inerrant" makes these methodological points about handling the Bible, ruling out in advance the use of mental procedures that can only lead to reduced and distorted versions of Christianity, that it is so valuable and, I think, so much valued by those who embrace it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6263</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9731]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How to make God laugh: Tell him your future plans. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17721]]></link><description><![CDATA[How to make God laugh: Tell him your future plans.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of us who served in one war or another know very well that all wars are the glory and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61192]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of us who served in one war or another know very well that all wars are the glory and the agony of the young.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61192</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The cost of health care is going up much faster than people's wages.
