| Introduction | "There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.... When I was working on the diary I became aware of a wonderful image: relationships were very much like stellar constellations-- ...The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself." Volume Two (1934-1939) The Diary of Anais Nin |

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?
Between the quiet gleam of the first star I see each dusk and the startling sparkle of the first star to wake me each dawn.
