Introduction "I am puffed clay, blown up and set down. That I fall like Adam is not surprising: I plunge, waft, arc, pour, and dive. The surprise is how good the wind feels on my face as I fall. And the other surprise is that I ever rise at all. I rise when I receive, like grass." Annie Dillard (Pilgrim At Tinker Creek)
Interests swimming, laughing, reading, painting; silence.
