help others to find and follow _themselves_. Here is the letter:

One thing at a time! Get off with the old love before you go fretting
about a new one! Don't you think you are a silly girl to ask _anybody's_
advice as to whether or not you are to go back to your so-called
husband? If _I_ know what _you_ ought to do I don't see what _you_ are
worth to yourself or the universe. The truth is that YOU are the only
person in creation who can make that decision. If you don't yet _know_
that you have a right to make your own life as you see fit; if you don't
yet _know_ whether or not you could go back to him; then _be still_
until you _do_ know.

You know things today that you did not know yesterday, and tomorrow you
will know things you "can't decide about" today. So attend strictly to
business and keep still, and stiller yet, until you KNOW what is best
to do.

Then DO it.

So much for the old love. As to the new one, not even _you_ can know
for certain whether that other man would pan out the soul mate you now
imagine him. But the Law of Love, or Attraction, will _prove_ whether or
not he is what you think. _Your Own_ will come to you, and all creation
can't hinder it--IF you keep that man was NOT what I longed for, a real
comrade; sweet and cool, and free in your own mind, and make the best of
THIS day as it comes along.

Ages ago I had a similar experience to yours. I found the only and

ceremony, for that ties nobody, but by my own conscience, which
