Trifextra Reading Challenge
February 9, 2013
This Trifextra challenge is new to me … we have been asked to scour through our favourite pieces of literature and select the best 33 words. I have chosen Anne Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Although I have not read it from cover to cover yet I often dip in …
Slow it down more, come closer still. A dot appears, a flesh-flake. It swells like a balloon; it moves, circles, slows and vanishes. This is your life … tracing on the surface of mystery.

Tracing on the surface of a mystery. I like that a lot.
I have not read this book yet.
I was recommended to me; I am going to take it on holiday _/\_ xx
This is sort of creepy, I don’t know why, but so very good (:
I know what you mean … it alright talking about our insignificance and brevity … but seeing it written sort of confirms it _/\_
the words are quite chilling — in a good way. very intriguing
Yes bit scary written down … we are insignificant bits of nothing about to just float off again.
