THE PATH

The phrase, "If all women looked like her, there would be no wars...only world peace." has been said times before, but when this phrase is said my understanding comes to play, and I think of the boys yet uninitiated into manhood. On the surface a phrase is a phrase, but upon examination a phrase is a statement of fact or conjecture, or it is a pin thrust into higher vibrations with the intent to trivialize, or lure intelligence away from where it belongs. 

Women's bodies, their beauty, the power of their image, their touch, and the wide spectrum of belief that arises from Beauty and who she is like a skilled surgeon operating upon the senses of men. Many poets, thinkers, boys, clergy and artists, and mystics have been led to the chronicles and opened books of sensory perceptions by the mere glance of a woman's attention sent their way. It is a phenomenal experience to have as a boy becoming a man. Everything within a boy awakened by women is the stuff of legends, and the stories of each boy to man experience could be enlightening, but it isn't. It can't be because of the crudeness taught boys becoming men over the centuries. 

There are many times where perhaps it is better for women to remain in secret in the ways they can remain a secret, or a suggestion, and mysterious or unavailable until the men initiations are finished and destinies are fulfilled before it is wise to make themselves vulnerable to the notions of freedom with a man, within themselves. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2.1.13
