It is looked upon as a discipline or penance, but hardly ever as the indispensable, pleasant ingredient it is to ordinary life, and from this want of recognition come half our domestic troubles.” WantHumansSpiritGivenHalfTroubleDisciplineSolitudeOrdinaryRecognitionCodePleasantIngredientsIndispensableHuman SpiritAdequateOrdinary LifePenanceOne Deep Author:Freya Stark
