It is a joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found.

If mothers are told to do this or that or the other,... they lose touch with their own ability to act.... Only too easily they feel incompetent. If they must look up everything in a book, they are always too late even when they do the right things, because the right things have to be done immediately. It is only possible to act at exactly the right point when the action is intuitive or by instinct, as we say. The mind can be brought to bear on the problem afterwards.

Feeling real is more than existing; it is finding a way to exist as oneself... and to have a self into which to retreat for relaxation.
