Tinker Beauty

It's Annie Dillard's Birthday today.

Here's an excerpt from the first part of A Pilgrim at Tinker Creek:

Mountains are giant, restful, absorbent. You can heave your spirit into a mountain and the mountain will keep it, folded, and not throw it back as some creeks will. The creeks are the world with all its stimulus and beauty; I live there. But the mountains are home.


My favorite book.
