- I grew up in a mega church in the South

So, when my dad's endodontist, stick with me,

asked if I wanted to join him in a team of adults

on a mission trip to Ethiopia, I said, "yeah."

we were greeted by our translator and liaison,

who was a local Addis woman named, Donick.

Now Donick had received her formal education in London,

a gorgeous flowing head of hair and the most

piercing perfect eyes I'd ever seen on a human.

She went down the line of our team and hugged everyone

and when she got to me, she took my face in her hands

and she said, "you're so small to be here,

that night, the local church that had set up our trip,

so we go, we're eating Injera, it's delicious

this sort of erotic traditional Ethiopian dance.

They have staffs, they're all beautiful, they're dancing.

I don't know how I mustered the way at all,

but I turned to Donick and I remember I said,

and she looked me dead in the eye and she said,

The weeks go on, Donick and I are getting closer

and closer, one thing that is important to mention is,

which is essentially, an emptied out VW van

and, an older gentlemen was chewing on a root

for me to chew on it as well and being a yes man,

that locals would chew on and use recreationally.

So next thing I know, I'm riding in this van,

lights were flashing, Donick has three faces at one point,

I was so done, I mean my palms were sweating,

my jaw was clenching, I was hearing Crimson and Clover

playing in my head, like I was done, love of my life.

A couple of weeks later, the trip was coming to an end

the crowd of people, said, "come upstairs with me."

that had now been stripped of all its bedding

and such an experience that I physically shook.

and in that moment, I had to face the thing

that I had been running from for so many years,

which was not just a crisis of faith or culture,

was a word I had not used consciously before that moment.

She finished the dance and she kissed me on the cheek

and she left and didn't ever see her again.

I think back on how malleable I was at that time

and the myriad love affairs I've had since then,

that was that profound and I never even kissed this woman.

I heard years later, that Donick had married David

I don't know what her experience was on the other side.

existed in a sort of holiness together for that brief time.

the quiet, intimate holiness of loving someone

in secret and loving someone, completely against reason.
