The Dud of Dillard

I'm sorry Luis but I have to agree with the majority of my classmates when I say that I didn't enjoy Annie Dillard as much as the other authors. I couldn't connect and nothing really resonated with me. I just read Angela's post on Dillard and I think she makes a very good point on the difference of the class' attitudes.

I'm at a point in my life where I feel that I am indifferent about my Catholic upbringing. I used to be upset about it. I used to call myself an atheist. And the biggest contradictory about me, is that I sing in a church choir. It's very sad to say but I sing and don't really feel the words. I just love singing even if I don't really 100% believe in them. Sad, I know. ANYWAYS, that mostly explains why I couldn't really connect with the whole searching for God, contemplation, and connecting with nature, etc. I'm just not at that moment in my life where I can relate to her writings.

But I have to thank Angela because she did give me a great idea. I will read this book as I get older and see if my perceptions do change. :)
