> "Yes, there is a long period of reconstruction ahead. We must take
> the lead. A remorseful mumbling that we are sorry won't fill the bill
> at all. We ought to sit down with the family and frankly analyze the
> past as we now see it, being very careful not to criticize them.
> Their defects may be glaring, but the chances are that our own
> actions are partly responsible. So we clean house with the family,
> asking each morning in meditation that our Creator show us the way of
> patience, tolerance, kindliness and love."
