Moment of Zen: Sweet Dreams

By Joe

There’s something especially nice about waking from a sweet dream and realizing that, apparently, part of you wasn’t quite ready for it to end. Those mornings may come a little less frequently as the years go by, which just makes them all the more worth savoring.

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. View all posts by Joe
