FOREST OF DESIRE

“In her day and time did the powerful truths she embodied and held secret within her create disease in her body? The dark of the night was it safer than the light of day in a time power perceived within her could have cost her a life, a name, a child? How much comfort did the forest give her? Were dark mysteries dark because of the way they played with light creating inviting shadows by perception or menacing by choice of word and belief? What did it cost to be engaged to the Mysteries; the mysteriousness of her menstrual cycle, her birth canal, and the middle passage her man, or lovers entered and left deposits of who they were within her?

I may never know as a man, but as a son and a husband peering into the vulnerabilities of my Mother and Wife may have given me access to their mysterious selves, and answers asking may or may not give.” - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.12.12
