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.

And now I want blueberries.
This haiku captures the beauty that lies in the berries. The final line "Gift for heart's chamber" brings a lovely and heartfelt conclusion to the poem. This is an evocative piece and now I am craving berries but unfortunately it is not in season here.
Hmmm craving for blueberry cheesecake now! Loved your Haiku!
That it is, & exceptional tasty whether on its own, in muffin or smoothy.
This made me want berry's so bad
