Sweet Mother,

Grounded at D. (Normandie, France)!!  My car has its 2 yearly "controle technique" at 6.30 p.m.!!!  so  MacDos here I come...quel cinema... telephoned Jaqueline who is depressed

Have made a discovery - I lack compassion for men - I fear and distrust them.  How much more joyful to have in my heart love and compassion...but this is a great defect of character and I have asked my
Heavenly Father to remove it - in His time.  It functions as a defence and now I have the Sweet Child as my Defender,  Love defends me.

My lack of concentration - there is much work to be done - my scatty, disengaged brain, my lack of memory - I so admired this in me whereas now I love my discipline and work and concentration.  My thoughts, in themselves are idle and foolish, not kind.  I must work at my disciplines of Greek and Latin and Hebrew.  I chose to compare myself to students more able than me and dismiss thoughts of my "brilliance" which have kept me locked into my pride.

I will write to you in half French and half English.

Your child


Lys.
