Ra Intwy Damaleya made an astute observation. Was she
saying, or implying a Black woman’s body, her behind, her hips, and Womb in its
fullness, and readiness is an architectural construct?
Studying the full body of this model from behind with a steady
gaze into the arithmetic, and the geometry of form there is motion, the
stillness within motion, the relationships between colors, hue, tone, and the
way; just beyond touch her dark skin and African body dances without moving,
moves, and shapes itself from an inaccessible place accessible to a chosen hand
into Sacred Form... © Gregory E. Woods

So moved I cannot speak the words to the emotion that jolted
through making me aware of who she is within me. Hers is a collective beauty
each feels they are a part of, but not fully, nor completely within her
awareness of place, and who she may very well be. This African woman's beauty
steadies the mind to absorb greater things in Life we need to live deeply and
closer to completeness. All this within her I heard, and felt touching me
inside. © Gregory E. Woods 11.1.12
