I am not from one place, but a variety of places. This heritage has doomed me to a certain rootlessness and saved me from seeing the world as narrowly as I might otherwise have done, though I wish I could see it from a broader perspective still.

One of the places I’m from is North Georgia, where I graduated from high school in a school system that found its way into the New York Times this morning, by way of a story about one biology teacher’s struggle to teach the theory of evolution. It’s a compelling story wherever you are from. See “Evolution’s Lonely Battle in a Georgia Classroom.”
