FREE FLOW FRIDAY
(Activity) Open Expression (Exercise) Create freely in response to the week. Any form. Any length. Any Topic. You Choose. Follow Momentum.  Here’s My Offering (Example): Too often— It’s a thin line—between FAITH and DEFEAT You get tired. Tired of waiting for what little you feel you deserve. Ruminating what you could’ve possibly done to generate this misfortune. Wondering is this Karma from an action you don’t remember committing or repenting for? Inquiring of the Lord to reveal it to you. With blood pressure issues, cholesterol and lack of ability to work out with out pain— Do I really need additional stress. Is this what’s going to kill me? So, I try not to anticipate the other shoe from dropping. But today— It was difficult to stay afloat of the waves of attacks. I’m no longer stagnant, but feel myself going under. In this moment I’m weary of flailing my arms. I’m tired of innocence being persecuted. I’m tired of losing in life. Trying to be positive—fighting to find the silver lining. Im tired of being robbed of my peace, my dignity, my confidence. Maybe if I wasn’t recently diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Maybe if my CPAP wasn’t so uncomfortable Maybe if I could get 7-8 hours of REM sleep. Maybe if the attacks would chill the F out. Maybe… Now you Follow The Flow.

Hope Support Doctors try everything to keep patience alive but we suffer yet another loss—it’s too much when you’re bedridden and shackled to defeat lowering the guardrails becomes a feat just to keep faith in belief that hope is still alive i pray in circles round and round and round stuck in a loop 🫟✍🏾MADennis
Tap -In Tuesday- Micro Offering
Today centers contact around… becoming restored (after pouring into others , how do you pour back into yourself to restore your vessel?) A small trace. A mark left without explanation. What you offer can be brief. A line. An image. An acknowledgment. Leave it where attention happened to land. Here's my offering: I practice self-care to nourish my spirit and I rest because resting is an essential part of healing the body after feeling drained?

TAT for TIT There’s A Thought for Tap-In Tuesday that comes back to mind as I pick at a scab on the back of my head: A therapist once told me, “In here, we pick at scabs.” I told the therapist, Did you know, “the” plus “rapist” equals “therapist”? PAC (like 2PAC but without the 2), Passive Aggressive Clapback. I got diagnosed with this wound some time ago— but every time it starts healing, I pick at it. 🫟✍🏾MADennis

@Cynthia Jacob I love that you led with “flames of love and compassion” because all too often there’s a tendency to view the pen as a weapon, something to use for violence (even if warranted) just like a sword.

(after Cynthia Jacob) Yo! This pen of mine is fire— the blue part of the flame— the slightest touch will give a full stick of butter degree burn. This pen of mine is 94 octane, pencil-proof premium unleaded. I write everything in concrete ink. Even my typos are correct. So if texted you: “Babe, I’m at the GAIR school.” I wrote what I wrote which means, I’m not at the HAIR school—I’m at the Glamour Accentuation and Image Restyling school.

(Activity) Open Expression (Exercise) Create freely in response to the week. Any form. Any length. Any Topic. You Choose. Follow Momentum.  Here’s My Offering (Example): Music Soul-child asks to teach him how to love. But Stevie Wonder says did you know that true love ask for nothing. Her acceptance is the way we pay. The Spinners say, it takes a fool— to learn— that love don’t love nobody. A mighty love. Don’t you know we love you, sweet Sadie. Teddy Pendergrass says, it looks like another love TKO. He also says “I don’t love you anymore.” The Bible says God is love. Pat Benatar says love is a battlefield. Donna Summer says love to love you, baby. Tina Turner says, what love got to do with it. Lionel Richie says, Jesus is love. The Isley Brothers says, if you can’t be with the one you love, honey— love the one you with. Aretha says, I ain’t never loved a man. The Beatles say, can’t buy me love. The O’jays say “People all over the world— join hands. Start a love train, a love train.” Miki Howard says she’s in love under new management. The Pretenders say, it’s a thin line between love and hate. Luther Vandross says in the glow of love. I think love has been talked about too much. Perhaps due to all of her different personalities. Maybe she has a mental disorder. They say that love makes you do crazy things. Maybe because love is mentally challenged. Yet she’s powerful. She definitely be pulling some serious mind control on people. She’s a scary entity. Yet we Gamble with our heart and take a chance at her anyway. Now you Follow The Flow.

(Free Follow the Flow Friday) We Gamble and Huff with our heart. We go from Cowboys to Girls. We say I Miss You to contempt for familiarity and sing If You Don’t Know Me By Now. We don’t want 992 Arguments. We want The Love I Lost to become Now That We Found Love. We demand Satisfaction Guaranteed (Or Take Your Love Back). We just Livin’ for the Weekend, maybe a Family Reunion, seeking a good time—a way to show pride and still Don’t Let It Go To Your Head. MADennis 🫟✍🏾 10/3/26
