The trees spoke and I listened
Sun rays beaming down while they glistened
The howling of the wind bespoken
Listening to the words being spoken
Receiving wisdom from the magical token
The tree within me awoken
What started as a weed
From the planting of a seed
I began to see the witness of me
Through the eyes of a tree
Sprouting into being
Became a new way of seeing
Through this body, a new life began beating
Or is this me just repeating
Second, Fourth, Or a hundred
No wonder why we’ve always wondered
Am I here to repeat
Until my soul’s journey is complete
Is that what this is all about
The journey isn’t over until I’ve figured this puzzle out
Hoping to pass the final exam
Free to see the truth of who I am
Once all the doubt has been filtered out
I'm no longer without
It has to be done
So the body and mind become one
When I realized I’m not broken
The tree within me awoken

Sunsetting Pride 2024
Happy Pride! As Pride Month 2024 begins to sunset, I want to congratulate every individual who has become brave enough to take control of their life and live as their authentic, beautiful self. This is a month when it highlights those accomplishments. From acceptance within families and friends to acknowledgement in the political arena. Starting with Stonewall (and events prior) leading to the Supreme court ruling for same-sex marriages. We are here, we are queer, and we should never live in fear.
