This is an abbreviated Moment of Zen because I have one of the worst headaches I’ve had in a long time. Combine that with a backache, and it had a truly miserable night of sleep, if you can even call it that.
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.

Lately I seem to notice all the ads for migraine treatments—I’m sure they are not new, but I now see them framed in light of Joe’s pain…always reminds me to offer a short prayer for your relief!
