    About this ebook

    Born and raised in Seattle, WA there were trees and a small beach nearby for times of refuge. Later time was well spent in Olympic National Park hiking and fishing with friends. When kids came along camping trips were the most fun exploring trails and taking trips to the ocean.. During these years I realized that only God could have created such beauty and tranquillity, and I learned to believe and trust in Him.

      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Letters to Mum

      Mar 24, 2021

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan

      Yours is the first face I saw when I came into the world. At first, I was scared. It was so cold and bright. But then I heard your voice. I remembered it immediately — warm, deep and comforting. I didn’t expect you to be so big. My whole body fits in

      Looking back is beautiful. As queer people, we especially deserve reflection. We exist in a world where we see queerness celebrated, but also demonised. Where who you love, how you identify, who you are at your core can be a death sentence. Our journ

      Dear Lord

      Daughters of Grace

      With the simplicity born from the heart of this child

      and my eyes full of longing from a life once too wild,

      His love falls from Heaven upon this place

      filling me up as His daughter of grace.

      In each morning given His mercies are new

      and I know in my heart it is forever true,

      that in every struggle of this human race

      I am redeemed to be His daughter of grace.

      When to the Father our troubles we bring,

      we can shelter in the shadow of His wings,

      in renewing prayers, as we seek His face

      we become stronger as His daughters of grace.

      Our lives are kept safely within His hands

      and with heartfelt praise for His wondrous plan,

      for with each direction and in every place

      we are blessed with being His daughters of grace.

      Homeless

      I saw somebody’s son today

      walking down the street,

      I saw someone’s lost inside child

      and I grieved for his life, incomplete.

      He talked to himself and as he walked

      shoelaces tangled and clothes falling apart,

      He didn’t even see me standing there

      so lost in his world-doesn’t anyone care?

      I watched and I
