i grew up among nuns and the spanish language. i endured adolescence amongst rednecks with mud-encrusted trucks. i escaped often to the stage. when that didn't work, i had my books. my first real love was a gay boy. my first real loss was my worst. my first significant decision was to backpack through the appalachians for a month without a shower. (i have a tendency toward extremes, but strive for the middle way.)i spent my childhood in unwavering and unquestioning belief; i spent my first few years of adulthood disappointed. i am currently contemplating. so, while there are very few things i am certain of...i am quite sure that: i am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God, who is sending his love letter to the world.-mother theresa
