In order to make sense of the upheaval in his life, he began keeping a diary on audiocassette. Upon their publication in 1990, Oliver Sacks described the work as 'the most extraordinary, precise, deep and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read. It is to my mind a masterpiece.' With exclusive access to these original recordings, NOTES ON BLINDNESS encompasses dreams, memory and imaginative life, excavating the interior world of blindness.

That was my good fortune.

You all right there, John?

Anything I can help you with?

No, I'm fine.

The whole place was just throbbing.

You know, you could feel the pews

vibrating with it.

Hmm...

Suddenly, I had the most intense feeling

that God was approaching me.

And I just had this vivid, vivid sense

of the Divine Presence.

Now He'd come sort of swooping in

from some great business

He'd been up to, intergalactically.

That's ridiculous, darling!

Well, you know, that's how it seemed.

He'd made a special visit.

And He threw a dark cloak over me.

And then

the most remarkable thing was

that He didn't leave, He couldn't leave.

He was there just waiting.

And I said, "I'll be fine.

"Don't worry about me."

And in that pause, I had a sense

of such grace.

And I thought,

"That's it. It's a gift.

"It's not a gift I want.

"It's not a gift I want my children to have,

"but it is a gift.

"So the question is

"not, "Why have I got it?"

"but, "What am I going to do with it?""
