This was the last work from this illustrious Pendle Hill author. 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.”

This is a beautifully written description of a long severe illness, when Morrison discovers that she wants to live in attention to the present moment, in being here and now, in living her gift of days with joy, with a quiet mind. It is a lovely account of spiritual learning. ( )

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. ( )
