the Abundance by Annie Dillard — a Book Summary by mary grace allerdice
Seeing, making + trusting the world. These are 3 themes that stood out to me the most while reading Annie Dillard’s essay collection, The Abundance. I will walk you through my summary of some of the most compelling quotes, ideas and prompts from this stunning compilation.
“There is something you find interesting, for a reason hard to explain because you have never read it on any page; there you begin. You were made and set here to give voice to this, your own astonishment.” — Annie Dillard
we discuss —
- the structure of the Abundance by Annie Dillard
- Theme #1 — Seeing, sensing or paying attention to the world
- Theme #2 — Embodying that attention by creating
- Theme #3 — the World is beautiful… trust the world
NOTE : for the first theme I discuss “seeing” a lot, and the kind of “seeing” i’m talking about is more of an awareness, attention and a presence. This kind of “seeing” is not dependent on actual, physical sight.
