As she lay dying, Morrison asked for, but did not receive release from her body. In this moving pamphlet, she writes: “Maybe this is the death I was desiring so intensely during my illness – this death of the separate spinning mind as it merges into the intense life of the present moment. If so, then Yes, there’s more. Much more – this beautiful inner wind blows where it will and whispers ‘when I please.’ My work is to be ready to receive it when it comes as I would a visit from an old friend.” As the author lay dying, she asked for but did not receive a release from her body. In this moving pamphlet, she writes: “Maybe this is the death I was desiring so intensely during my illness – this death of the separate spinning mind as it merges into the intense life of the present moment. If so, then Yes, there’s more. Much more – this beautiful inner wind blows where it will and whispers ‘when I please.’ My work is to be ready to receive it when it comes as I would a visit from an old friend.” Mary Morrison (Let Evening Come) writes of the despair that can descend during a long illness: the depression, withdrawal, and denial that comes with loss of hope. She also writes of "asking" and receiving the unsought answer. And, finally, she writes of the long road back to wellness and contentment with life as it is--not as it was, and not as it "should" be. A very good book for caretakers of an ill person. Perhaps also a good book for someone on the road to full convalescence. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
