Sep 23, 2009
By Doreen, Washington, DC

"The essence of this journal is that every creative person needs solitude in order to center themselves for the act of creation. Agree or disagree, I do believe that it's important that everyone, regardless of creative ability, learns how to be alright with themselves alone, because only very young children and the infirm should require constant attention from other people. Ms Sarton celebrates the pastoral life and touches on several interesting ideas, but nothing is fully explored. If I'd read this in college, I'd probably appreciate it a lot more, but I've had enough life experience that a lot of what she talks about is old hat. I did find her attempt to explain some of her unreasonable behavior somewhat refreshing even if I didn't agree with her final prognosis. The easiest way to learn anything is through practice, and Ms Sarton seemed uninterested in learning how to control her temper. I would have been less incredulous if she'd just admitted that she enjoyed her tantrums, if not the aftermath. Otherwise, an honest look at her everyday existence which, in my opinion, tended more to the everyday than to the extraordinary."

"I am reading this one again, it is my favorite May Sarton book and I just love it. So happy to have my own copy so I can just reach for it when I get the need. I have read all of her journals yet this one stays with me always."
