I am a survivor. I have survived Apartheid, Aids, Abuse, Addictions, Gay Guilt, numerous disasterous relationships and Bipolar Disorder. Now if I can just get over my Survivor Guilt I will be just fine!
"Whoever owns the words owns the world. If the words are not available to ask the right questions then no new answers are possible."
Gabriel Moran (Religious Body - 1974)
I understand the power of words. They have been my closest friends and, at times, my worst enemies.
Theє words 'GAY', 'MALE', 'WHITE', 'SPIRITUAL' and 'POET' do not describe me. I am all of these things - and so much more. I cannot sum myself up by saying who I love and what I do. I can only use the words of God and Gloria Gaynor; 'I am who / what I am'.
