Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
by Annie Dillard
A beautiful book. It outlines one calendar year, four seasons and all their transitions. Dillard encounters and examines bugs and birds, landscapes and weather, grasses and trees, muskrats and frogs and humans. Her observations lead to musings and explications drawn from science, philosophy, and religion. The book is an extended meditation, a spiritual essay on the natural world. Reading it is to be transported to the beauty and the harshness of not only rural Virginia (Dillard's home at this time) but any other place where the laws of nature hold.
