Compassionate #TransRemembrance Day .

It feels strange to say “Happy.” I will gladly take suggestions for a better adjective.

"if my existence makes random people on the internet happier, then i did good in this world." —Natalie Nguyen, September 16, 2017

I was born as I am
Not appearing as I am
I hide no longer

Colorado Springs

Dandelions sprout;

effortlessly climbing,
always upward,

they turn into the light and
remind our faces
that the sun still loves us.

They need no cultivation or special treatment,
growing in their own light,
freely
spreading tiny fey umbrellas with joyous breath.

Dandelions are hardy and grow everywhere with no agenda
but to nurture.
They are brilliant harbingers of love
that decorate our world with their colorful lives.

And frequently,
they
are cut down
so that suburban family lawns can feel safe
from fear.
