“The Other Side of Mictlān” by M.M. Olivas
“The Other Side of Mictlān” by M.M. Olivas, narrated by Wil
Hi, I'm Wil and it's Storytime.
I have an interesting life. I get create art and share it with a loyal
audience. I get to travel all over the world and meet people from every
culture and background imaginable. I frequently have the privilege of
speaking to large groups of people about the value of kindness,
inspiring them to be the change we all wish to see in the world. I do my
best to make a difference with all the privilege I have, and that keeps
returning to me ten times over.
All of that is interesting, and it feels pretty good ... but it isn't even the best part of being me. That part of me, the most important and
valuable part that lives in the most sacred, protected depths of my
heart, is my family.
The very best part of being me, is being married to Anne, and being Ryan
and Nolan's dad. Everything else is a distant second place.
Today's storytime is about a family that loves each other the way we do.
It's not all roses and chocolates -- real love never is -- but it forms a bond that is so powerful, it persists no matter where they are, even
on The Other Side of Mictlān.
