There is a sense of timelessness in the forests and rivers that surround us from "summary" of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Dillard Annie
In the forests and rivers that surround us, time seems to stand still. The ancient trees and flowing waters carry a sense of eternity, as if they have existed long before us and will continue long after we are gone. The stillness of these natural wonders is not bound by the constraints of human timekeeping - they do not rush or worry about the passing of days. As I wander through the woods and along the banks of the creek, I am struck by the feeling that I am stepping into a world untouched by the hands of man. The trees tower above me, their branches reaching towards the sky in a silent dance that has been going on for centuries. The water in the creek flows with a steady rhythm, its song echoing through the forest like a timeless lullaby. In this timeless landscape, I am reminded of my own place in the world. The worries and cares of daily life seem to fade away, replaced by a sense of peace and belonging. It is as if the forests and rivers are inviting me to slow down, to breathe deeply, and to simply be in the present moment. The creatures that call this place home move with a grace and ease that speaks to the deep connection they have with their surroundings. The deer that browse in the meadow, the birds that sing in the treetops, the fish that dart through the water - they all seem to understand the rhythms of this timeless world, moving in harmony with the flow of nature. As I sit by the banks of the creek, watching the sun set behind the trees, I am filled with a sense of awe and wonder. In this moment, surrounded by the beauty and majesty of the natural world, I am reminded of the vastness of the universe and the smallness of my own existence. And yet, paradoxically, I also feel a deep sense of connection to everything around me, as if I am a part of something much larger and more enduring than myself.
