yesterday shelli mentioned an old friend of mine so today i looked up her tweets …

in fact … i just looked at a link from one of her tweets today and she said that for the month of octoober she’s writing for 30 minutes for 30 days … and yes, we both know that there are 31 days in october but we also know that no one wants to write on halloween …

i was like ok, i want to write more. i’m gonna do the same thing.

i don’t really know what i’m writing about … so welcome to my mind ….
today will be some free thinking, verse, improve, stuff …

free …
like the wind … and powerful too
but like water, my thoughts are monetized
co-opted by capitalist thoughts …
my own thoughts …”i’m more than gifted. i’m special beyond logic. how can i capitalize from on my gifts? and give back? i gotta give back.”
like water to earth. ya know …

earth holds water … water rises to clouds … falls back to earth … water nourishes life … water finds itself contained … free water makes someone rich …
it’s a cycle … right … ???
wrong or left …
being wrong was not an option … because being wrong is equated with not doing something right and because i’m clear that as a child of god, i will always do things right for me … at the time … and since i work hard to be better than good …i’ll say
left …
when i was younger, i played soccer/foootball … on the left side …
i started playing defense … the coach wanted me to play on the left side …
i wanted to become a left footed soccer player.
i moved to left wing … then to left center half
i wanted to be the best. i figured that i was already right handed and was better than many on my right side so developing my left side would make me great. i started to try to write and eat like lefty … my parents just thought that my hand writing was bad … they didn’t know i was writing with my left hand. (now they do). i did al kinds of things that i could in order to try to develop my left side.
but then my football aspirations started interfering with my school work …
and i almost flunked out of school/left behind in school …

haha … my mind just shifted to the words behind or school … when i think of the word behind i think of women’s backsides … behinds … i think i’ll build on the word school instead …

school … education … academia … the streets … value … balance … community … class-ism … elitism … humility … smarts … wisdom … teachers … students … classrooms … lessons … experience … time … thought … logic … creativity … options … choices … share …

hair … shelli … hairscapades.com … i love her … i need to write more for the site so that shee can write less … and we can share more time together …
anyway …

i’m done writing i’m gong to spend time with shelli … ’cause yeah … i love her … and you should know this … the same way you know water is wet …

this is fun and feels uncomfortable simultaneously … i might really do this thing for 30 days … i might not post them all but … i’ll let you read some of them. i think i really like to write with more clarity in my vision but this free writing is fun …

I believe in God. And because of my faith and belief in the unknown, I believe in a universe that is beyond my imagination and logic.

I’m a man that believes in prayer (I am also humble enough to believe in life forms other than those on earth … it would be arrogant to believe that it couldn’t happen … remember ANYTHING can happen when you believe … but that’s another conversation!).

The other day, I was a little behind schedule. I thought to myself … “Self, I could take my time, catch a later bus. I’ll just call and tell people to reschedule.” Then I thought to my more responsible self, “YOU … you know you could keep your word to peoples by putting in a little work to get ready. Just pay $5, catch a cab and be where you said you were gonna be at the time you said you were gonna be there.” I decided to put in the work, pay the $5 for the cab and do what’s right to respect other peoples’ time, energy and effort. I was gonna get there on time!

So, with that decision made, I called a cab. I knew that knowing a cab was on its way would light a fire under me. It did. I immediately got myself in gear! While I was running around the house getting things together, I was struck with the realization that I was so blessed to have a place to rest my head and call home … and I had things. Things that helped me with work … and things that I played with … and … just things!

So … I started to pray out loud. Then, in the midst of the rush … I got the urge to change clothes (Yes … dudes do this too! I’ll talk about that at a later date!)! I was amazed that I actually had fashion options that weren’t just about what t-shirt I wanted to share with the world. This epiphany further fueled my prayers (that were now being sung as I rushed around the house!). In the end, all I changed was my jeans! I quickly made the change. Ahhh … that just felt better. I focused on what I needed to put in my bag for the day. I took a deep breath, acknowledged the gift of options in my prayers, and that I was even blessed with a fly bag that allowed me to carry my blessing. The same way we are given this vessel called a body to carry our spirit! I was feeling the glow:

Then, I reached to straighten out what felt like a folded pocket. And, to my surprise, what did I find?! CASH MONEY! Not much, but just enough to get me through the day!

All I’m sayin’ is … the POWER of prayer isn’t JUST in the silent thoughts … it’s also in saying it out loud. The silent prayers are to plant the seeds within yourself. Those that you say out loud and/or write out are the ones that plant the seeds in the universe! BUT, both are useless unless there is some work/action/effort exerted to make things happen!

This is just reminder that prayer works … but … positive thoughts are not enough …

CHANGE, GROWTH & PROGRESS require ACTION as well.
