Following on from A Life of One s Own and An Experiment in
Leisure, Eternity s Sunrise explores Marion Milner s way of keeping
a diary. Recording small private moments, she 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 - each makes up a 'bead' that has a warmth or glow which
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 one s 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.
With a new introduction by Hugh Haughton, Eternity s Sunrise
will be essential reading for all those interested in reflecting on
the nature of their own happiness whether readers from a literary,
an artistic, a historical, an educational or a
psychoanalytic/psychotherapeutic background.
