 Alysyn Ayrica (a.k.a. Lavender
Stain) is eloquent, insightful and creative. She ponders deeply on the meaning of existence and is astutely perceptive of nuances in situations and people. Her feminine essence is refined, and her outlook is empathetic and accepting. She is gifted with linguistic prowess and expressive capability which enables her to convey multiple layers of meaning within a sentence, or to just as easily pinpoint stark reality in a single word. In any event, she challenges us to think. Aly has faced extraordinary challenges, yet she has prevailed and grown stronger, wiser, and more beautiful each step of the way. She inspires us with her faith, her strength, her honesty, and her realism. Alysyn sets a shining example of what it means to be a lovely feminine human being. Thank you, and much love to you Aly, our dear sister, for blessing us with your leadership and contributions.
Aly's Gem of Wisdom: "The truth of the trial comes not in the clothes, the hormones, the relationships... the truth comes from the Truthgiver. All things derive their meaning from some source. All things are created for a purpose."

Change
and the Prodigal Spirit
~ We
exist in a natural state, bound by
physical laws, and are subject to
temporal forces. Within this
framework, the nature of change
has become a topic of great
controversy, at least to our human
race. It seems that so many people
are averse to change, yet the
world into which we are born
insist on it - socially,
naturally...innately.

Wherein
Lies True Beauty
~ The
circles. The clubs. The community
profiles... Mine is not a thorough
experience by any means. In fact,
I purposely withdrew from many of
the stereotypical TS environs,
especially those in which a large
contingent of the transgender
community ensconces itself in an
attempt to maintain a level of
comfortable acceptance in a world
so apt to odium without preamble.
My reasons for such a conscious detachment
have been primarily based on
character. |

Ever So Foolish... ~ Forgive me if this is something that seems ridiculous, but the closer it gets to the anniversary of Jenn's death, the more I find myself dwelling on her. Throughout the year I've been struggling with this loss, but no amount of crying dispels the hurt. I wrote this letter, which I plan on setting on her gravesite November 30th, the day before, as to avoid any chance meetings with her mother (a whole different set of emotions...don't get me started!)...

Damnation Aly, Part 2 ~ Stability. That oh so elusive standard of living which most women desire, but very few actively seek. Somehow the dramatic turmoil seems to bring about the romantic drive within us, sparking our earliest imaginings of what that Cinderella story would entail. Just as boys want to wield their sword and shield and battle the dragon, girls imagine the storm waves of passion crashing about them making loves embrace all the more thrilling. But life is rarely like that, is it not?

How to guarantee a broken heart... ~ So how does one pinpoint the exact time to begin opening yourself up to the possibility of being in love? In the case of one being purposefully disconnected to protect vital emotions from being constantly assaulted by the carelessness of others, how does the time become recognizeable when those barriers must be necessarily moved aside to allow the sincere and loving complement to migrate to your very core?

Broken Vessel ~
Within a chain of events sometimes comes the realization of one's worth and relevance. These things are never hidden, except in the context of personal perspective. Desire and need often supplant truth in claiming the vision and distorting one's self-assessment.

Damnation Aly, Part 1 ~ I began to decipher what I know about human behavior regarding the impetus to converse fluently only to discover the one thing that seems to draw the average person into focused verbal interaction, have them talk about themselves! Will it work? Let's find out...
