The above link contains an essay I wrote about a song and about my mentor.
What the essay is about: Growing up, finding my own voice, the way in life one thing ends and other thing begins. How there’s a pattern there.
The beginning of the essay: Starts at the end. At the end of the reading series I use to participate in. At Tom and my father talking.
The middle of the essay: I go back and forth between lyrics of the song, Walls by Tom Petty. I go back to how writing and the search for myself was the same thing.
I bring up both Tom Spanbauer, and Tom Petty, and I draw inspiration from both.
At the end of the essay I talk about the two times Tom visited me. At the end, I talk about moving on without my mentors, and how maybe I am a mentor to other people.
