After an Interfaith Service

My name is theo geer. I live and work in Chicago, IL. I am a member of the Brotherhood of the Phoenix. I was born in May of 1980. I’m gay, kinky, and I love with every fiber of my being.

If I could only say one thing over and over again for the rest of my life, it would be this:

“You are beautiful, and strong, and worthy.
You are not alone.
Even when the world has left you unloved;
I am here, and I love you.”

I am not perfect, though I often pretend to be. Please forgive me this pretense. It is to protect myself, and I long for the day when I overcome this need.

I place a high value on honesty, sometimes to a fault. I try to tell the truth at all times, but I am not above misleading you if I have cause.

I have a dark, and occasionally cruel sense of humor. Sometimes it will cut you. Believe me when I say I mean you no harm, but I will not apologize for my bitchiness. It is part of the whole.

I will stop at nothing to protect the people I love.

I am very self conscious, and often dislike my appearance and voice.

I find insincerity to be off putting and uncomfortable. I try to avoid false pleasantries and other social lubrication. I recognize that this is why I’m not very good at socializing. I can do it when the situation demands it, but it is not easy for me.

In a very real way, I have devoted my life to the service of the world. I consider myself a mystic, and strive to walk a balanced path. As my teachers have told me countless times: “We are not monastic. We must live in the world as well as allow ourselves to be apart from it.”

If I could hold only one belief, and must doubt everything else, I would believe that all paths to the divine are sacred and worthy of being traveled.
