Waves on an Ocean

A never-ending source of energy.

A flurry of activity above.

A flurry of activity below.

Constantly pushing forward;

Waves cycling toward the shore.

 

Standing, sand ankle deep, cold and salty water wash over me.

At this moment, I feel free.

My sins are baptized in the ocean.

The burden is lifted from my shoulders;

A mind left to wander.

I possess a body willing to do the same.

 

A never-ending source of pain.

A flurry of life above.

A flurry of life below.

Drawing strength to push forward.

Waves cycling toward the shore.

 

Be good to each other,

-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.
