Eternity's Sunrise

Following on from A Life of Oneâs Own and An Experiment in Leisure Eternityâs Sunrise explores Marion Milnerâs way of keeping a diary. Recording small private moments she builds up a store of âbead memories. â 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 â sacred horrific profane funny â grows a sense of an âanswering activityâ the result of turning oneâs 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 Eternityâs Sunrise will be essential reading for all those interested in reflecting on the nature of their own happiness â whether readers from a literary an artistic a historical an educational or a psychoanalytic/psychotherapeutic background. .
