Seasons: November 2013
http://nathanrhatch.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
One nursing student's thoughts on life. Monday, November 25, 2013. It's about counting the steps from where you are to where you started. It's reviewing the path of life that you have been on and what it has taken to get there. It's knowing the Rocks that have remained underfoot, those that have remained steady for you. It's the acknowledgment that their presence have made all the difference for you. It's also recounting the treacheries and catchments that have come your way. It's makes all the difference.

One nursing student's thoughts on life. Wednesday, August 28, 2013. Open your eyes now. Oh, can't you see. You had everything you should have ever wanted. The hope; to live, love and lead. How could you have been so blind. Was it a slow fade, or a quick drop to the bottom. She was your star, now, she's your scar, now. You let her bleed. There's no point in saying the things you've heard a thousand times from better men then I. I'm not one to judge,. What have I to make me better. I let them bleed. Someti...

Seasons: September 2013

One nursing student's thoughts on life. Saturday, September 21, 2013. I Swear I Lived. There was a day I remember. I remember it well. I was young, feckless and wild, my heart set in stone. It was a day that the world seemed to open up to me. And it all started, with nothing but a simple blessing. My wise old one turned to me. He turned to me and said, "Mzadi. Child, don't you worry. Even when is seems to be, you're not broken just bent. May you take that leap, and feel not the fall. I pray you never suf...

Seasons: October 2013

One nursing student's thoughts on life. Sunday, October 13, 2013. What is your reason for getting up in the morning? What gives breath to your lungs? Makes you take that next step? What gives you hope to face the monsters in your path? What gives you purpose? A reason to smile? Is it the tender touch of the sun upon your skin? Is it fitting into that little red dress? Is it the feeling of iron in your hands? That next big pay check? What would you do if you had a little bit of money? Staring Up at the Sun.

Seasons: April 2014

One nursing student's thoughts on life. Tuesday, April 1, 2014. You have done nothing but coerce us into the shadows. Preaching out "all are sinners", and "no sin is greater than another." Yet you scrawl accusation across our brows, and pull your hand away if any of us reach out for help. You've simply branded us with a brilliant, flowing, rainbow-colored "scarlet" letter. Labelled us not as friend. Not as son. Not as sister;. You decide not to get your hands dirty, you refuse to affirm our humanity.

Seasons: Good Beginnings
http://nathanrhatch.blogspot.com/2015/02/good-beginnings.html
One nursing student's thoughts on life. Monday, February 23, 2015. Its good beginnings that make a positive difference. It's our Birthings that matter. How we begin to perceive our bodies own abilities. Events that shake and shape us,. To feel our first impressions of the greater, wider world. Naturally placed upon us, or thrown upon us like a knife in surgery. Trials are the reformers that we lack. Having done away with rites and rituals, how do we draw that line in the sand. Pagans of the good-times.

One nursing student's thoughts on life. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. I stand in a precarious spot. A middle ground, where I have a voice but do not know how to use it. I am White. I am Male. I have lived a life of relative privilege. But sometimes I am a pawn in the game. Sometimes, I don't stand up when I should. Sometimes, I let the little things slip by. Why is it White folk only pay attention when they fear they have something to lose or until it can no longer be ignored? I watch fat, wind-bagged old ...

Seasons: Love Wins
http://nathanrhatch.blogspot.com/2015/06/love-wins.html
One nursing student's thoughts on life. Monday, June 29, 2015. May love's pure light come to you in a time of fettered uncertainty. May it cling to you with an enveloping brilliance you've never before experienced,. Or may ever experience again. Let it show you the way forward,. Guiding you in the best of times and the worst of times. Let it find you in the places where you feel overlooked. So that you can say, "if love can come to a man like me, it can come to someone like you.". The Confessional is Open.

Seasons: Why It Matters (Pt. 1)
http://nathanrhatch.blogspot.com/2015/07/why-it-matters-pt-1.html
One nursing student's thoughts on life. Monday, July 6, 2015. Why It Matters (Pt. 1). I have tended towards being an open and honest human for the majority of my life. I don't like to hide things, or at least haven't since I graduated high school. Most of my friends and family will tell you that I divulge (or seek to discover) the deepest parts of myself more often then maybe warrented. However, there have been many secrets I have kept from select groups of people for long periods of time:. My mom insist...

One nursing student's thoughts on life. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. A Tuesday Kind of Person. I've always liked Tuesdays but Tuesday is a day that is often taken for granted. It isn't a particularly special day of the week so it can be left out and forgotten. Most people recognise Monday as the dreaded start of the week. Friday's are of course the "let it all hang out" end to the week and we all know why weekends are awesome. Heck even Thursday gets "Throwback Thursday.". The Confessional is Open. Its super...
