Dyuman's Correspondence with The Mother

19 December 1934

My dear Mother,

S has not taken her evening food, for reasons she knows. I do not, but most probably I am the culprit.

I do not think you are the culprit. I must be the culprit because she wanted to embroider a crown for me in gold and I said that I had no gold thread that I could give, which is the plain truth.

All these moods are absurd, and the best thing is not to mind them at all. A perfect equanimity is the strongest power.
