For the Time Being by Annie Dillard, author of Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, is a book of Dillard’s reflections on what it means to be here and why. She reflects on clouds, sand, the writings of Teilhard de Chardin to name a few. Her thinking and her writing go to places that only she can go.

Fans of Dillard will probably enjoy this book. I found it interesting, thoughtful, but not nearly as eloquent as Pilgrim at Tinker Creek.
