45 Mile Outdoor Challenge for The Trevor Project

I’ve signed up for the 45 Mile Outdoor Challenge for The Trevor Project because this cause is close to my heart. I want to take action and make an impact. And I would love your help. Whether you donate $5 or $500, every bit counts. I’ve set an ambitious goal because I know that with support from people like you, I can get there.

The Trevor Project’s mission is to end suicide among gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people. Learn more here: thetrevorproject.org.

Thank you for your support!

William (that’s my first name) MARK

Old photographs

Old photographs

Dust accumulated
through years of storage brings
coughing and sneezing,
itching and wheezing.
Faded images stir
vibrant memories of
people and places,
life and love shared.
Sorrow and joy,
joy and sorrow
mingle with the dust.
And the question lingers:
why are there tears?
