The Artisan 2014 Volume 25 1 The Artisan Editor’s Note Whenever we lose ourselves in 2014 Volume 25 a story or poem, or when we take a moment to really drink in a piece of art, we enter a whole other world—a world in which the magical and fantastical exist, where even the ordinary things that make up our daily lives become extraordinary. It is the world of the writer’s or artist’s mind, but as we venture into that realm, it becomes Briarwood Christian School our own. Even more amazingly, 6255 Cahaba Valley Road whenever we create works of art and literature ourselves, we too Birmingham, AL 35242 breathe entire universes into life. (205) 776-5900 Because of literature and poetry, because of art, there are always new doors to open, new worlds to explore, new dreams to dream. Because of imagination, we have the keys to all kingdoms. 2 3 y 12 The Physicist’s Reply 44 A Letter to Atlantis 83 Song for a Mother from a 97 Beyond the Shadow of r Jacob Lamb MeMe Collier Daughter

of any temptation to dangerously open a door for a friend. Bekah Blythe Briarwood Christian School is a wonderful place where kids learn all sorts of information they will probably never use the rest of their lives. Recently, though, Briarwood has enforced some security measures. Among these various inconvenient changes, a nefarious door policy has come about. According to this vindictive rule, if a student is seen kindly opening the door for a teacher or another student, he is immediately punished. The vast majority of students find this rule to be absolutely ridiculous, and many ignore it completely. This is causing quite a bit of tension in the lovely Briarwood Christian School. Therefore, Briarwood should tear down the current school and rebuild an entirely new school with no doors at all; this would remove conflict, promote school unity, and ensure that class could continue as normal.
