From that spot I could look down into tumbled valleys and up to cloud-crowned mountains, lord of all my domain. As my grasp of Christian Science grew, I loved Mrs. Eddy's statement "Each individual must fill his own niche in time and eternity." Retrospection and Introspection, p. 70.

I felt I'd missed something. I wished I'd been born in a different time.
