I intend to post some loosely associated thoughts once or twice a month. I hope to detail at least a portion of my experience as a Mormon Millennial and amateur naturalist. I will mix the themes of nature, politics, and religion to examine my lived experiences, evaluate current events, and sketch out the questions I have. I want to keep in these musings a sense of wonder, to find times to just dwell in moments of simple exhilaration, but to never shy away from the emotions and questions we don’t seek out but seem to eventually find us. Essentially, I want to revel in my humanity, even–or especially–my simpleness.
