One day there was a boy not like most;
Who had a quantity of quirks, more fairy and feminine;
And so came judgments, brutal roasts;
Slurred many a dark shade of their doctrine.
Observing his outfits, others would scowl;
Learned to suppress and be inconspicuous.
Bleak his personality, cloaked in a cowl;
No longer sincere but surreptitious.
Yet in his soul pining from a pain;
Like an arctic blue benumbs the harrowing heart;
A constant reminder, barren remains;
Thus the desire for life did soon depart.
Like midnight black before the civil dawn;
Until a day when fate be found;
An angel glides across the lawn;
Drawing his dusty heart up off the ground.
True loves’ first kiss had gaiety abound;
Eureka! Darling! Here at last;
His mental health now safe and sound;
With a heart so full and love so vast.
Like a cascade of crimson roses in spring;
An abundance of beauty in every day;
Warm hues of sun shimmering all things;
Love is funny how it finds a way.

Twinning is Winning
It’s Gemini season! And you know what that means. Time for a celebration! With vaccinations readily available and covid in life’s rear view mirror, now is the perfect time to throw an extravagant birthday bash. Or go out, see some new faces and get some exhilarating news. Embrace your inner butterfly and be social. You deserve to let your hair down and cut loose after this pandemic. As a Gemini, you need movement, change and spontaneity. Without it you get fidgety and bored way too easily. Ain't nobody got time for that!

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
