“…and the Creator loves pizzazz,” wrote Annie Dillard in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. I haven’t read the Pulitzer Prize-winning book and probably won’t, but these words strike me. Unlike Dillard, I’d follow the phrase with an exclamation point or two — or more even. On a walk in my garden — or anywhere, really — I notice His handiwork if I stay awake; and how I strive to stay awake. Indoors and out, His handiwork awes. Pizzazz, indeed!!!
On a side note, Annie Dillard grew up in the Point Breeze neighborhood of Pittsburgh; and this beautiful city has my heart for so many reasons.
