Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:
Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Force is never freedom in Christ,
Even if it is the purpose of “winning souls”.
Let me take a dip in the Limmat River—
I’d rather be baptized in love than
Xenogenetic founts of forgery.

- Comment from author about the poem: An acrostic Scorched Sunday poem. Part of my Scorched Strays collection. This piece confronts coercive faith, forced conformity, and the violence that emerges when love is replaced by institutional certainty. Some baptisms bless…others drown.

Not the cat, one can surmise. Many a false conversation result from that systemic coercion. Powerful stuff, Tittu 🕊️🙏🏻
And now Popeye's book 'The baptism of spinach' - whatever that means?! lol.
good write my friend, and a meaningful message
Forcing a square peg into a round hole is never advisable. Trying to make a sober man out of an unwilling drunkard does not work. Forcing the mind even by sword is a false conversion. Well written Tristan
