This is an unedited audio recording of my conversation with Kathryn Post at Religions News Service - I was on a call with her via speaker and I recorded on my computer, she was aware of this and actually instructed me on how to do it, as you will hear in the beginning.

"You see of late I have been really challenged with feeling loved, supported and cared for by my family and I think in feel so deeply like this in this moment and time, a moment and time that I feel like I need them more than I have ever needed them, it paints over all the ways my family has shown up for me of the years. It doesn’t allow me to experience these things again, still, to let these moments of my past be with me now in order to help me have a more truthful and wide perspective of what is in, and who is with me in this life, in this world. One memory that really got me thinking like this was remembering when I told my family that I was gay and HIV positive on Mothers Day in May of 1999..."

TW: SA, METH, RECOVERY

Reflecting a bit on the role of darkness in life and what to do with it. Wrestle it, embrace it, learn from it, extinguish it, or ...

I didn't initially think I would be discussing my experience with meth but it was one of the first times I allowed myself to live in the darkness that I had been trying so hard to avoid.

I was invited to offer a reflection, this is what happened.

🦋🙏🏻🕯 May we open our mind to build new strength,

receive knowledge in our hearts

and wisdom in our body -

Help me to set aside my anxieties and allow me to be a channel

Allow me to speak what you would have me speak for the greater good

📜 Psalms 42 1-3 ESV

1 tAs a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.

2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

3 My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?"

“As a drag artist I not only found a passion but a permanent part of life. This art form saved me, Frank opened up a part of me I kept hidden. And Frank isn’t just a character I portray, he as much me as I am him. I celebrate my non-binary pride, all and none of my gender-fluidity.” - Frank Siracha
