Beneath the Surface
I came out in early 2024 (in phases, and more publicly toward the end of the year). Though I may have demonstrated courage, it was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done, on lots and lots of levels. And in the wake of it (all the loss, the uncertainty, the exposure and exhaustion of putting myself “out there” in a way I never dreamed I’d have to), I’ve gone largely into hiding. I haven’t disappeared entirely - I’ve re-emerged here and there to use my privilege and voice online to raise awareness of the current injustices in our country, and in my offline life, I’ve poked my head out from underground occasionally to lead worship for my church fam. But I haven’t shared myself as freely as I used to. Not by a long shot, not online or off.
Throughout 2026, I’ve felt God preparing me to share myself more intentionally and vulnerably again. So it seems fitting that piece I of this collection is titled “Emergence.” In this piece, the fragile calla lilies emerge from darkness, showing up on the scene with a bit of flare. With paint spatters. With courage and confidence and energy.
This piece is for you if, like me, you need some encouragement to emerge, or re-emerge, into your life. To show up fully, with all your natural flare. Leaves spread wide, with no shame or hiding, and with a little bit of paint flying. With your whole, entire heart. As your whole, entire self.
