Humans need Humor
Laugh a little…
I sit in my car under a cloud of smoke…
Not Thinking of ways to make more money.
Only ways to be funny.
See, I love making jokes.
And dressing up in Harry Potter cloaks.
Not all black people are thugs.
I smoke weed but I also show love.
Saved people from themselves…
If you need a laugh to lift your spirit,
I’ll give you one.
I’m always true to myself everywhere I go.
Even the ones who’ve hurt me know,
That I’m going to better places.
I have no time to be chasing old patterns
And digging up old dirt.
I’m not hurt…
Love is too embedded deep inside of me.
I don’t laugh to keep from crying anymore.
I laugh because I’m free.
Humor heals.

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.

Humor is the antidote to life 😊
I love this, and when I think about it, it's true, sometimes we need humor in our hearts.
Humor heals for sure!! 👏👏
