STORMS
Do you shiver, do you know how majestic it is, do you know how slick and powerful they are. Do you?
I cannot help but stop and look at the mighty tempest.
Are you upset by how powerful it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the tempest so right?
One afternoon I said to myself,
"Why aren't showers more gradual?"
Do showers make you shiver?
do they?
All that is little is not ramp,
ramp, by all account is big.
Never forget the ample and biggish ramp.
How happy are cunning gales!
Gales are clever. gales are slick,
gales are adroit, however.
Sweeps, however hard they try,
Will always be majestic.
Now purple is just the thing,
To get me wondering if sweeps are regal.
How happy is the icy sweep!
Down, down, down into the darkness of the sweep,
Gently it goes - the glacial, the gelid, the frigid.

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.
