I spent a day in the city of my life, rode streetcars through a day of inconceivably blue skies, spring air and and the sunshine of impossible dreams. With the companion of my heart and my days, I strode into another year of this equally impossible dream with a strength and comfort of purpose I was sure would elude me. We talked of forever and loss and words. Of visions, ideas, change, home. We talked of bodies, of love, of freedom.
Steadied by the wishes of family and friends, my spirit rose to the day. A life at once thirty years done and at the beginning yet. The world I saw a was great world of open doors and open windows, sunlight and moonlight danced and from my hand I blew kisses to those scenes yet to come, those memories yet to be made into impossible dreams. In this place, with these people, with her, I walked into the possibilities.
