As If Through The Eyes Of God

Standing on the 22nd floor of the University of Washington Tower, Seattle, to the south, is laid out perfectly before me. It is a cool, gray, wet November day. The trees are dazzling the landscape in vivid oranges, reds, and browns. The evergreens never give up their green. The water is blue. It looks cold and unforgiving. Towers and skyscrapers dot the horizon. They stand tall as if representing the city's strength. Clouds mask the sun, as is tradition this time of year. Sailboats pass by with no real place to go. Cars and people find themselves in the strange dance of ants. All headed in uniform directions. Bridges have a way of tying the whole thing together. Mountains are nowhere to be found, as is tradition this time of year. I assure this though, they guard us like Gods and will never hesitate to make their presence known... 

And here I stand, playing God for the first and only time in my life. 

 

Thanks for entering my world, 

-Nathan

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
