My Holiday was the most wonderful I can remember having in such a long time. When I l think back to everything I have experienced since moving to New Orleans, my struggles have been deep and bearing--yet my life has been lived high and hard and the balance equal. As an extremest, i suppose, my struggles are mighty: near death, lost heart, the failing of the educational system. Still, my beauties have been legendary as well. Living in a powerful, spiritual, and historical city filled with powerful and spiritual people: musicians, dancers, writers, teachers, students, family, lovers, and experiences. I know myself well through the pleasures and the pains of this last year and a half.
No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
My holiday was so much, it takes a past look in this tired moment to briefly understand how blessed I am. I spent a week filled with the people of my past who helped guide, build and love me into being the man I find and have chosen to be I spent a week with a family who has loved me, supported me, fought me, yet always welcomed me back to home I know that I always have.
And I spent my New Year's Eve with the most decadent group of people I could have: My brother, Leslie, Josephine, and Michelle.
thank you so very much.
