Exemplar:
 * Pilgrim at Tinker Creek** by Annie Dillard

Excerpt: I wonder how long it would take you to notice the regular recurrence of the seasons if you were the first man on earth. What would it be like to live in open-ended time broken only by days and nights? - page 74.

Why I picked it: I like this passage because it **makes you imagine** what life would be like without any sense of a calendar. It is interesting to think of time not in terms of year after year but just a pattern of night and day and seeing if you would eventually recognize the patterns of seasons.
