Love for all

As I sit overlooking the city of Hartford, the capital of the state of my upbringing, brought here solely to work on a piece about Race, I am overwhelmed that my adopted state of New York has passed the marriage equality act.

I am so very proud that the district of my birth (D.C.), the state of my youth (CT), and the city of my adulthood (NY) agree that the we are all equal. Having been apart of relationships that at various times in our American history would have been considered illegal, I cannot help but sit in wonderment at our abilities as a society to fight the good fight.

Even when it feels that good and kind and non-judgmental will fade in the apparent might of division and ego, moments like this come to remind us that God (or the greater humanity) still exists.

Living enough to love as you please.
