Darting ideas, twist and turn within,
Intrusive sounds that just won't end,
Surfing social shorts for endless hours,
Time drifts by, lack of focus towers,
Reality is blurred, a secret world in mind building,
Action necessary to avoid social distancing,
Constant effort, a requirement for growth
Time to grind, a meaningful life matters most,
Intentional tasks to stay on a positive path,
Overcome distractions, make change like simple math,
No time wasted, be a present friend.

ELEGANCE AND TRADITION.
In the quiet dawn, where the mist kisses the earth, I find the echoes of elegance, of tradition, Whispering through the ancient oaks, through the fields Of golden wheat swaying gently under the morning sun. This land, rich with the history of countless lives, Breathes with the tales of those who came before, Of those who built their dreams upon its soil, Brick by brick, hope by hope.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
