“Because how we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
Annie Dillards essay on the eclipse was ... well wonderful..... i got taken away by her words and really felt that i was in that moment with her. all of her different moments of strong detail in her writing made me wish that i could write like her! i loved the moment when she wrote, "I turned back to the sun. it was going. the sun was going, and the world was wrong. the grasses were wrong; they were platinum. their detail of stem, head, and blade shone lightness and artificaially distinct as an art photographers platinum print.' i cant explain why but i stopped at that moment and just re read those sentences over and over again. there was something sad about what she is saying but at the same time she is captivating the beauty in the moment. by looking at everything around her with such complex, yet simple eyes....
