Prompt
“I’m not doing it to be loved, I’m doing it to BE love.” – Holly Troy
On Writing
Breathe the sentence in. Exhale the sentence. Inhale and exhale each word. Now inhale and exhale the sentence. Then, go!
There is only one rule, keep your hand moving.
Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. If you feel stuck, keep writing anyway. Try going back to the prompt and write it out until other words arise, then write those—or, repeat the last word you wrote again and again until new words appear—or, write, “I am stuck,” or “I can’t think of anything,” as long as you keep your hand moving. Writing is physical, the words will move through your body and come out of your hand—just keep it moving.
Now go – for five, ten, fifteen minutes . .

HI HOLLY, THANK YOU FOR THE TRUTHS YOU BARE. I MAY HAVE SHARED THIS BEFORE, ALTHOUGH IT TOUCHES ME IN MANY WAYS AS I WITNESSED WHAT MY MOTHER WENT THROUGH PROTECTING US IN OUR CHILDHOOD. A REAL MAN NEVER HURTS A WOMEN… BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU MAKE A WOMEN CRY, BECAUSE GOD COUNTS HER TEARS. THE WOMEN CAME FROM MANS RIB NOT FROM HIS FEETTO BE WALKED ON,NOT FROM HIS HEAD FOR HIM TO BE SUPERIOR, BUT FROM HIS SIDE TO BE EQUAL , UNDER HIS ARM TO BE PROTECTED , AND NEXT TO HIS HEART TO BE LOVED. MANY DIFFERENT PROFITS AND THOSE WHO HAVE WRITEN PROFOUND SCRIPTURE IN EVERY CULTURE KNOW THIS TRUTH BUT HAVE IGNORED IT BECAUSE OF HOW POWERFUL A WOMEN CAN BE.

Yes I always get excited when some of my favorite poets are mentioned Whitman and Emily D. I have a first edition of leaves of Grass and I loved my visit to Emily’s museum in Amhurst while finishing my first degree in human services, Thank you for mentioning Them.
