There are 66 countries in the world where it is illegal to be gay. As a gay man, I have gay pride. I won't be going to them. My heart goes out to LGBTQ people that live in these places. My prayer is that they can find asylum in more tolerant countries. #tabularasa #blog #blogger #gaypride

Ten years from now, I see myself not just as an author. I envision myself as a curator of mysteries. I also see myself as a cartographer of the symbolic. I will be a weaver of stories that flirt with the veil between the visible and the invisible. #tabularasa #blog #blogger #thefoolsjourney #tarot
