"You can heave your spirit into a mountain and the mountain will keep it, folded, and not throw it back as some creeks will. The creeks are the world with all its stimulus and beauty; I live there. But the mountains are home." Annie Dillard, "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek." April 11-12, 16-19, 7:30 pm. April 13, 2 pm.
