This view is from a path along Piscataway Creek, looking across the creek, and west, toward the Potomac River. It's a lovely walk in the fall (and spring - lots of wild flowers.) The journaling is one of my favorite passages from Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.
It reads
"If the landscape reveals one certainty, it is that the extravagant gesture is the very stuff of creation. After the one extravagant gesture of creation in the first place, the universe has continued to deal exclusively in extravagances, flinging intricacies and colossi down aeons of emptiness, heaping profusions on profligacies with ever-fresh vigor. The whole show has been on fire from the word go. I come down to the water to cool my eyes. But everywhere I look, I see fire: that which isn’t flint is tinder, and the whole world sparks and flames."
