Written / Narrated
by Leslie Jordan

I discovered Mr. Jordan’s Instagram during the pandemic. His short videos and posts brought much light and laughter to a lot of people during a dark time.

He was so loved and is so missed. 1955-2022

I love when peonies bloom. This plant once belonged to my mom, and its blossoms always remind me of her. It feels especially meaningful that they bloom so close to Mother’s Day.

"I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?"
