In “The Fixed” Dillard recognizes in the natural world nothing is fixed, but everything is ever changing and renewing, like Tinker Creek that is constantly being renewed by fresh water. Dillard sits by the creek and feels this renewal metaphorically, it energizes her and she refers to it as “therapy for the soul.”
