An Eternal Home
Nov 23, 2020 | By Ashley Talton BR ‘23
Over the past two years, I have lived in three different places. I’m never really sure which to call my home anymore. One of them is the tiny town I grew up in, that I spent fifteen years in, and since March, I’ve been here again. Another is Durham, North Carolina, the city I lived in for my junior and senior years of high school as I attended the residential school, the North Carolina School of Science and Math. I loved living in Durham, and in those two short years, it became my home.
What is Wonder
Sept 15, 2020 | By Kayla Bartsch GH ‘20
What is wonder but an apology?
Evidence of spirit flowing from soil,
a constant effulgence of that first
Utterance which produced a radiance
that is yet to be told.
