The Spirit of Revelry

DSC01039.JPG

Crowded around a kitchen table,

Tonight, we are in the business of solving problems;

The world has plenty to go around.

With every sip, the challenges become less.

Every rotation of a record means something new.

 

Our days of festive evenings have passed.

We are here now.

Or, perhaps at a corner bar.

We are together, though.

It is something new;

A spirit of revelry.

 

The world seems to find us standing still.

All the while, days on the calendar escape us.

Time betrays us all.

All the while, exposing our greatest weakness, hesitance.

But not now.

Here, time slows down.

The kitchen table could be a pew.

We are filling each other up.

This is the spirit of revelry.

 

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.
