Oh, how the sun's rays dance upon my wings
lluminating the sky with golden hues
I soar above the clouds
A ruler of the skies
My spirit free and untamed
I may be small
But my heart beats with the rhythm of a thousand drums
I flit from flower to flower
Sipping nectar sweet as honey
My wings hum a melody that only the flowers can hear
In the darkness of night
I am a shadowy figure
A creature of mystery and wisdom
My eyes see beyond the veil of illusion
Piercing the darkness to reveal the secrets of the forest
I am the master of mimicry
Imitating the sounds of the forest with uncanny perfection
I sing songs of laughter and joy
Brightening the hearts of all who listen

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.
