“What do I envision when I think of San Ramon”
In the midst of a jubilant sun, an alluring bird flails its majestic wings and celebrates perching on the tree of abundance. The amethyst hills give me the zenith of zeal, swaying me forward to the mount of confidence. A dot of solace on the map of mankind, San Ramon makes me sprawl bountifully. Cumulus clouds above this suburban city dance with merriment, singing an ode to joy. The valley of faith spreads arms of hope, letting all of ourselves sitting in the lap of happiness. Like the same seal bird, my heart soars high holding hands of diverse friends. The vivid flavors of cold-seasonal and moderate climates leave me in the whirlpool of exquisite colors, painting numerous pictures

    Flames rushed skyward from a structure less than a mile away across the sagebrush. At the height of another dry desert summer in July 2013, Chris Tucs, a novice member of Carson, New Mexico’s volunteer fire department, was working in the yard of his off-grid home when he saw the blaze. He threw a few shovels into the back of his truck, hitched up a trailer loaded with 300 gallons of water, and sped to the scene, looking up from navigating the ruts in the road to see flames shooting through the billowing smoke, which already obscured the view of Tres Orejas Mountain off in the distance. The fire was on the property of Tucs’ neighbor who lived with his partner and two children.…

Parked cars, a neighbor rolling their trash bins from the street, appearing and disappearing amidst the illuminated mist emitting from nowhere. Fog’s conglomerative mass climbs onto land from from its congregation point within the Pacific Ocean and crawls across California's northern coast, where my perspective resides, to its eventual destination at the coastal redwoods. Within this habitat I have come to enjoy what comes in with every morning sea breeze: Contentment, security and solace. Self-apparent reassurances on a gloomy day.…

    In modern times, the western approach towards nature and Life is practical in the sense that it can all be explained by a scientific phenomenon. Due to this mentality, spiritual connections to our roots, nature and Life, are abysmal. To Linda Hogan, writer of Dwellings, this inauspicious approach confirms a detachment from “the treaties once made with [nature]”(11), to which Native Americans dearly hold on to. Throughout Dwellings, Hogan recounts significant experiences that enable her to inch closer to her roots and raise her awareness on the beauties of Life.…

    The golden sun gleaming off the cool blue water, its rays finding their way through all the trees and their uprising branches. My happy place. The warm reds, pinks, and oranges light up the sky. The smell of freshly sprouted flowers in spring, fresh cut grass in summer time, to the bitter cold and scentless winter, every season of fishing is different. The sights and scenes are calming and I forget about my struggles and or problems.…

    Reconciliation Interrupted by the faint sounds of birds chirping and grass swaying in the gentle breeze, the calming silence became a distant memory. As the birds flapped their wings, moving at the edge of the tiny meadow, from one tree to the next, they cast their shadows over the body of a small brown skinned, black haired girl. She lay on her back in the hilltop grass, facing directly up towards the almost blinding light of the afternoon sun. Her dark skin, holding a lively warm glow, reflected the rays of sunlight off of her quickly flickering eyelids. Suddenly, they were open, revealing her dark brown almond shaped eyes and her ever so slightly off white sclera.…
