“I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It’s one life and there’s no return and no deposit
One life so it’s time to open up your closet”
-from “I Am What I Am,” by Jerry Herman
What are the closets you’ve had to open in your life?
Thanks for this post. I’m a member of the LGBT community as are both of my daughters. It took me until age 41 to come out. My biggest fear is for the trans community and the damage the Supreme Court can do to our established rights. At the same time I am grateful to each and every ally.
The song is from La Cage A foe Broadway Musical
Yes, the music and lyrics to the songs in La Cage Aux Folles were written by Jerry Herman.
I enjoy looking at the Chalice and the Flame as a symbol of Mystical Spirituality including a holistic view including all paths in love.
