Freefalling

In my meditation group this morning, our facilitator asked us to think back to a time when we made a big decision and didn't know what the outcome would be -- how did it feel? And the feeling I had was one of freefalling. It was only a year ago that I decided to fully live into my queer identity, and that unknown outcome was a daily anxiety. However, I have had the support of good people who made sure I got through the massive changes. And so my image today is one of me falling away from a heteronormative existence. My gray wings touch the surface and absorb my new colors.
