Eternity's Sunrise: A Way Of Keeping A Diary

This book is about Marion Milner's diary. She records small private moments and builds up a store of bead memories. A carved duck, a sprig of asphodel, moments captured in her travels in Greece, Kashmir and Israel, circus clowns, a painting make up a "bead" that has a warmth or glow that comes in response to asking the simple question: What is the most important thing that happened yesterday? From these beads, sacred, horrific, profane, funny, grows a sense of an answering activity, the result of turning ones attention inwards to experience real joy. What Marion Milner conveys so vividly and inspirationally is her lifelong intention to live as completely as possible in the moment. This book is essential reading for all those interested in reflecting on the nature of their own happiness.
