Oh Southern crush name sake of my long ago distant past…
How many times must I kill you before you finally rest in peace?
Would that enlightenment comes to those who seek to resurrect you.
Forgive them for they know not what they do.
Or do they?
Sometimes people are intentionally cruel and willfully ignorant
and I have no use for either.

For our trans brothers and sisters and anyone who has experienced this brand of disrespect in regards to a legal name change.
A cold November morning delivers the promise of a brighter tomorrow
The winds of change are brisk, clean and decisive though long in coming…
Finally I can breathe…
We’re on a roll here in the U.S. electing the best and worst of leaders in the same decade.
Funny, not funny how those pendulums can swing so far in either direction.
We’re setting precedents too, going against our racist patriarchal past, but there are many among us who would see us burn before acquiescing to progressive change.
So we revel for a moment in the hard fought win, before succumbing to the tumultuousness of the tough tasks ahead, as we build back better a deeply divided nation from the ravages of an abusive narcissistic president and the ilk that supported him.

Stay the course
while others fall to the wayside,
and you’re often tempted to quit.
Stay the course
though you’re uncertain
for certainty is not guaranteed.
When the lines fail to delineate
let your heart and your gut take the lead.
Trust that there aren’t always answers…
it’s about the journey not
the end of the road…
You were put on this path for a reason…
so… stay the course.
