I am from mason jars, from Duke's mayonnaise, and woodyards
I am from the homely, quiet, humid, reminiscent winds
I am from the rocks, the dirt, the trees of the mountians
I am from picnics in the graveyard and hospitality, from Paw-paw and Rube and Maw-maw
I am from the kind heart and calloused hand
I am from the Saints, the temple, the suffering of my people whom I never knew
From Lehi and Nephi, from Mormon and Moroni
From primary songs and trunk-or-treats and Boy Scouts
I'm from mountains both near and far, my very name meaning Stranger
From the orphan whose grandson was an orphan, whose grandson I am
Their parents not dead but not with them
I am from the tops of pianos, handmade furniture, blood, sweat, tears, and most of all smiles

If you see me off campus it will likely be in a Zelda or Marvel t-shirt. I love literature, and in that I include movies and video games because can they not also be great works of language and storytelling? Stories open our minds and our hearts to understand ourselves and others. I also love poetry set to instruments, or as we more often call it, music! Read something great lately? Or even better, have you played a great game? Come talk to me about it!
