Anne Dillard about nature and life

Anne Dillard about nature and life:  “The wonder is - given the errant nature of freedom and the burgeoning of texture in time - the wonder is that all the forms are not monsters, that there is beauty at all, grace gratuitous, pennies found, like mockingbird’s free fall.  Beauty itself is the fruit of the creator’s exuberance that grew such a tangle, and the grotesques and horrors bloom from the same growth, that intricate scramble, and twine up and down the conditions of time.”
