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.

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.
