From Pilgrim at Tinker Creek:<BR/><BR/>When the doctor took her bandages off and led her into the garden, the girl who was no longer blind saw "the tree with lights in it." It was for this tree I searched through the peach orchards of summer, in the forests of fall and down winter and spring for years. Then on day I was walking along Tinker Creek thinking of nothing at all and I saw the tree with lights in it. I saw the backyard cedar where the mourning doves roost charged and transfigured, each cell bussing with flame. I stood on the grass with the lights in it, grass that was wholly fire, utterly focused and utterly dreamed. It was less like seeing than being for the first time seen, knocked breathless by a powerful glance. The flood of fire abated, but I'm still spending the power.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Sorry so long, but I thought you'd like to read it/be reminded of it. It's from the last paragraph of chapter 2 (I think this is more useful than telling you the page # of an American edition.)S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957943262402999997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10557263.post-39119469164357546142007-08-02T22:39:00.000+01:002007-08-02T22:39:00.000+01:00I like the way your mother's mind works!There is a...I like the way your mother's mind works!<BR/><BR/>There is an Annie Dillard piece about people who gain sight in adulthood--I will come back later when I have it in front of me because I know otherwise I will mangle it.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957943262402999997noreply@blogger.com
