Dear Friends,
Whew! An amazing and thrilling and fantastic and wonderful and ecstatic experience Motormorphosis has been so far, and there still is one more day to go! My heart is so very full of love and joy. What an astoundingly inclusive and vibrant community we have here.
I can’t yet give a summary of it all, but I want to say I have absolutely felt so loved here. And so inspired by all my peers and our staunch allies. This is a family to me.
And I still can’t grasp that I am on two panels, and selling my own book and poems and stickers, and hanging out and chatting with dear friends, and learning about the amazing work and ideas of my peers from their own presentations. What an impressive community to be a part of! Me from four years ago would never have fathomed this. Me from ten or twenty years ago would never have dared to imagine even a portion of this. And I still feel like I am dreaming at times, and not just because of the jetlag!
I am also so moved by the feedback of those who have come up to me to say they value my voice and work. It means so much to me after decades of being overlooked and unheard. That I can reach people in a meaningful way with my words is a gift I cherish. And I love being able to tell my heroes here how much I admire them.
More photos and updates to come soon. For now, I will go be Tara’s moral support at the hotel gym and then enjoy a dip in the pool! By the way, our Spellers pool party was incredible yesterday! And wow, I hope we have many more!
Your Friend,
Danny
