The Midas Touch: stories we live by.  Al Head

I haven't written in this blog for a while. I want to, and I try to when I can, and try to encourage others to as well. It's important to us that we have a diversity of voices here, just as we have a diversity of people at Queer Spirit Festival.

We are suffering, we are scared, we are angry.

And because so much of what is happening is directly impacting the earth, which we are part of, and which we work for and honour.
