Every once in a while I have a perfect NYC night that reminds me why I am here at this very moment in my life.
Tonight I saw my favorite drag queen in her NYC debut show. With me were some of my best gal (and gay) pals. I feel so fortunate to have found a community of like-minded people to share this crazy, horrible, wonderful journey with and I will forever be grateful for all that they teach me.
And on the train ride home, after trailing my hands down a disgustingly dirty subway handrail, a woman offered me a few drops of her Purell. I politely refused stating that I had some of my own. She said to me, "no worries. I just know how it is". We rode is silence for two stops and as I exited the train at my home station I said to good-bye and "have a good night" to her.
She replied, "you, too, sweetie."
I couldn't help but smile. I was struck with how random and wonderful this city truly is. I am thankful for her and for her kindness and generosity. I am thankful for my amazing friends and all of their beauty and talent. And I am thankful to live in a city that offers us the opportunity to experience all of this in one night.
Thank you, Universe/God/Fate for bringing all of this beauty and wonder into my life. I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I thank you for it. And all I do is to honor you.
