Here is what is going on in Anais Nin's life in the fall of 1953:
- Under a Glass Bell is on the Columbia University reading list. The Four-Chambered Heart is sold to a Swedish publisher.
- How can we get inside another's mind? It takes honesty on their part. What about reading their diary, if they are truthful, and if they allow it?
- There is value to individual development - it contributes to awareness in society as a whole.
- Horrors of aging - deafness, false teeth, restrictions of all kinds.
- Mother's human qualities - generosity, devotion, sacrifice.
- Father's qualities - artist who re-created human condition, transformed reality.
- Human condition - domestic life, chores, nursing the sick, marketing, mothering others, cleaning house.
- If you contemplate future travels and dazzling friendships, it can make the human condition more beautiful by diverting it towards a beautiful aim.
