A story of several wombs. . .

A STORY told

A man needs to want to warm up to his woman and smile into her smile. It seems obvious why, but cynical feminists, and other hurt angry people choked with their bitter memories can talk the simple pleasure into confrontation. That hurts the innocence of lives, and unjustly tears the joy, the discovery of childhood out of young romances, and children's eyes, and weds them to a hopeless frontier of debate about equality.

I pulled my baby brother from a slaughter years ago when he was on a purposeful quest for a wife. Surrounded by two women scoffing at his simple hopes I had to get him out of there. Michael had said, "If I could come home to a woman who would smile from her heart at me I would work 3 jobs just for her!" The two women fell into awful guffaws. Pitifully, Michael tried to defend himself. He was no match for them. Both were ministers, and both were single. One claimed to be a 40 year old virgin, and had surrounded herself with weight to prove it. It was terrible, and I was angry at those women.

I insisted Michael come upstairs to see something in my bedroom. I closed the door and sharply admonished him, and embracing him told him to reject their words, and not listen to the words of women like that! The words of a woman whose womb is closed blocks out love from moving in either direction.

"When virginity becomes a weapon it no longer of any value." I told him, and the words stuck.

Michael is married now with two children, and his home is warm and loving. One of the women, Anne, is married now, and the other one is single, claiming to be a virgin, getting closer to 60, and her ministry is within the confines of her four-cornered room in her parent's home. The Medicine powers she was borne with have lost integrity, and her brothers no longer consult her. It is sad, but this story as a Womb story is a cautionary one for those who claim to be married to Jesus who, in fact, are wed to inner conflict, and the demons that plague their psyche are puppets mastered by unforgiveness, disdain for others, and bitterness. - Gregory E.

Cosetta Chantal lives in stark contrast to the above told story. Imagine being an adventurer. Wouldn't you want your daughters to dream and follow their dreams? Of course you would, but sometimes for inexplicable reasons some people's fears borne of their anger turn them into something incomprehensible, and we all suffer because of their lost of soul, of drive, imagination, and fulfillment. The story I told many may help a few to come alive, forgive, and move on into the purpose of their lives. - Gregory E. Woods
