"The world is a great mirror.
It reflects back to you
what you are.”
-- Thomas Dreier
About Me
- GeckoMan
- Eugene, Oregon, United States
- Welcome to Geckoman's blog, an exploration of living with love and faith. Why the Gecko? Search my blog for "poem" and select Gecko. I want to see the world through eyes which are accustomed to ups and downs. My reality is that I go back and forth between my chosen LDS world and an inner vision striving for focus with a gay lens. I am a creative who is rarely satisfied with things as they are. Please feel free to comment.

I do not subscribe to this quote 100%. For example, there is much said and/or implied in the LDS church that reflects an attitude that the gay orientation is fundamentally flawed, "a problem" that needs fixing, or a condition that needs to be "overcome." What I do subscribe to is that my reaction to said statements reveals to myself and others where I may be or what about me that indeed needs refinement.
I believe that what I say and do has a way of coming back to me, to show me how I impact others. The world reflects a variety of images of me. Sometimes the reflection is not flattering and I need to readjust my focus or change the image in the viewfinder. But there are other times when I see myself in my daughters, or in my work, or in my calling at church, or in my poetry and I think there just might be hope for me, and it's all worth it.
