Teaching a Stone to Talk: Expeditions and Encounters

"A series of meditation like a polished stone - carefully planned, incomparable to naturally inject a tough but mysterious and larger resonance". - "Commentary on Kirks" "Teach talking stones" is wonderful. Like a flying fish, Andy Lard often does not do this, but when she does she suddenly has a silver stripe and all other today's writers in a simple intimate and beautiful way I will cross it. "- R. Buckminsterfuller" The natural world is ignited by her essay. We see the world as a metaphor of the glow of the spirit ... Most authors await interest with awe, and there are few people who graphically convey the weight of silence, meaningless power . "- Robert Taylor," The Boston Globe "is a small book that is surprised to know about Dillard 's unique passion and strength Think about Thoreau and Emily Dickinson." - Edward Abby, "Chicago Sun"

In "Talking stone" (1982), these works are prose in their own right. Perhaps this series contains "Devided Deer", which is the largest share of The Abundance, among "her biggest books". Its most exquisite part, its core part is the part chosen to end the new series, "Polar Adventure". This article is a long-term metaphor, an absolute journey - God of silence - she is called "shameless exploration for people invisible in the dark" elsewhere, to understand the unknown We are working hard and tell us the impossibility like past polar exploration. For most of us, as Dillard knows, this effort seems pointless. For her, this is the only thing that makes our lives a reality.

Annie Dillard's "Speaking a Stone" is an interesting article. I learned that the idea of ​​Dillard is very attractive in this work. Her message is that human beings do not touch nature, so humans do not touch God. It is very interesting and persuasive. I really like teaching stones as Larry talks, and humans try to capture the parallel between Gods again. Her idea was somewhat confused as she started out of the rally and then brought the island and the trees, after careful thinking, everything was well integrated. Finally, her scattered thoughts flowed. The idea of ​​Dillard is that we should stop looking at the lion in nature but pay attention to silence. It is a wonderful image and a metaphor.

In "Teach stones to talk", Dillard describes God's general pursuit. She explained in the Bible era that God cried and talked to people who are scared. Moses asked him not to talk anymore, so "God, have mercy on their self-recognition ... Please agree not to talk to people anymore." I listened silently. On "Mountain top", Dillard went for a walk when I saw a boy who was witnessing as a Christian. When he met people, he was asked to ask them about specific religious issues. He is to blame but I have solved the problem, but I can clearly feel comfortable discussing the events of a normal childhood such as fishing. Dillard said he was "tired, old, exhausted, enthusiastic, solemn."
