Invaded by Goodbye
I became spiritually awakened
Similar to a Holy Ghost invasion, I awoke,
Spiritually enlightened, a new path I took.
Problems solved without math's equation,
Causing disbelief, vague speculations.
A divine natural phenomenon, it came,
A sudden echo of words, "Goodbye," it proclaimed.
Unknowing from which direction it came,
The echo bellows, "Goodbye," with purifying flame.
Goodbye to my addiction, I bid farewell,
Postulating freely, change's inevitable swell.
A revelation through disguise, no longer to hide,
Life simplified with this "Goodbye," side by side.
Hand in hand with God, I walk this path,
Addiction-free and alive, I embrace my new task.

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.
