MONDAY HEART MAGICK
What blood was this, and what roses? It could have been the rose of union, the blood or murder, or the rose of beauty bare and the blood of some unspeakable sacrifice or birth.
—Annie Dillard
This one is about the moon.

#ANNIEDILLARD ON THE SECRET OF SEEING
"The secret of seeing is the pearl of great price. But although the pearl may be found, it may not be sought although it comes to those who wait for it, it is always, even to the most practiced and adept, a gift and a total surprise.
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.

In honor of the great magazine editor Lewis Lapham, who died a year ago yesterday, who gave us @laphamsquarterly.bsky.social and the modern @harpers.bsky.social, here is Annie Dillard’s long-lost tribute.
(Slightly edited to make it fit Bsky. Longer version on Instagram.)

“It is difficult to undo our own damage, and to recall to our presence that which we have asked to leave. It is hard to desecrate a grove and change your mind.“ from Teaching a Stone to Talk by Annie Dillard

Nieuwe column op Literair Nederland.
'Dit boek voelt als het betreden van een gebied waar vergeten is het bordje ‘Verboden toegang’ bij te zetten. Het is intiem, en heftig.'

Hey #TerryMoran the #paradox is that there is nothing #ordinary about the #CatholicMass. Too bad you don’t know that. #AnnieDillard said we “should all be wearing crash helmets.” #PopeFrancis #Vatican #Eucharist @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @davidmuirofficial.bsky.social @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

As I wean myself off EffaceBook, I'm documenting favorite posts from years past. This one is from 2021. I shared a post from @drchrishoff.bsky.social, whom I know from the #LosAngelesCA area #NarrativeTherapy community. A quote from "For the Time Being" by #AnnieDillard. (See comment)

Ten years ago, I spotted this Annie Dillard collection in the window of @countrybkshelf in Bozeman. I find myself rereading it in preparation for a class I’m teaching on Environmental Writing. This passage from ‘The Weasel’ is too good not to share.

Really enjoying this book about the 1850s in Bellingham Bay (Washington)! Has anyone else read it?
