The Key to Transition

Dear followers, there are so many things trans men do to solidify their identities and presentations, but there are only two essential steps.

1. Meditation.  Go out into the woods or deserts, the seaside cliffs, the mountaintops — to the highest, wildest place you can reach today.  Sit down, compose yourself, and listen.  Hear the breezes rustling the leaves, the whistle of the sirocco over the sand.  Contemplate the roar of the tempest far out to sea.  Gather the little tinkles of streams from amid the springtime zephyrs.  Be still, fellow seekers, and gather what all these sounds tell you.

2.  Exploration.  Start out from your front door, and wander.  Let you feet guide you.  Go down every street, alley, or cul-de-sac that might show you something new.  Get to know the corners and squares of your city, and the surrounding towns.  Travel for miles.  Stroll.  Meander.  There is no rush, comrades.  Visit the cobbler to resole your shoes, and wear them through again. 

This sounds like a long process, and it might be! It may take some men years, and others only days.  I don’t have the solution; I don’t know how many roads you must walk down.

But you will know -- the sign comes to each of us in our meditations.  The answer, my friends, is blowing in the wind.
