Between the idealistic philosopher and the religious man there is undoubtedly a deep rift; but it is no different
from that which appears in ourselves on the eve of a crisis, when we are mentally divided, and yet very close to
inner unity and
harmony.
Inner harmony grows not by finding ways to get away
from your child, but by giving yourself the gift of a hot bath at the end of a long day, reading a book of poetry, talking to a friend on the phone, taking a nap, crying, getting a massage, having a day off
from cleaning and cooking, staying in your pajamas all day, swimming, going out to eat, or attending a conference.
