“Where I’m from”
I am from a place inbetween. I am from soccer and ping pong, cribbage and whist. I am from waking up to a rooster’s call and falling asleep to the sound of crickets.
I am from birdwatching, math, and earth science. I am from heaven like aromas of gourmet food. I am from backpacking and rafting, cold, sweat, and grit.
I am from long, lackadaisical road trips, and fun, frivolous game nights. I am from late night reading sessions where the book is glued to my hand, telling me to not put it down.
I am from early morning soccer games with a hint of morning frost seeping into my cleats. I am from home and home is here, in beautiful Boise, Idaho.
