standing in pride


i can't imagine a life in which i was told who i can and cannot love.  the freedom to love genuinely and openly is simply taken for granted.  for most of us there are inherent risks that come with love and we all have to rally our inner warriors...courage and vulnerability and faith...in order to jump on for the exquisite wild ride.  if we're lucky, we do not know the added pressure of outside judgement, hatred, scorn and misunderstanding.

no person who graces this earth should have to love in secret because of who they love.  the more love that surrounds all of us makes this life glisten with hope and connection and promise.

love bravely.
love beautifully.
