The dry season has arrived
It has finally arrived
I cannot imagine it
I could not prepare for it
I am not well prepared
But I will try to cope up with it
The season will bring shortage of food
I might not get access to water
Fresh flowing water
The sun will probably bring nothing
But droughts and dryness
The dry season has finally arrived
And I am really very upset
I didn't prepare for it
Alas, I am feeling so upset
I am feeling too tired
Due to the sudden arrival
Of this dry season
I wish it had not come
I wish I had not seen it
I wish I had gone to another place

Warm Comfort
Unshakably so, shivering from head to toe, soup to warm the soul.

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.
