Tribute to Form without Alteration.

Naked against an old tree has a feel most will not know, not from an image! It is an elemental experience that broadcasts the fires of a body in the wind, against the wood, on the ground! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 9/7/17

Naked beneath the white cloth, Melissa Rizo, is bilingual speaking to the loins, the impeccability of a spiritual man, the heart of a lover, and the curiosity of an artist! Being beautiful has its abilities to alter perceptions! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 9/22/17

Eyes. A man needs to learn to look into them to feel what needs to be known,and how to conduct himself being led by what she wants. It is a discipline of his spirit. A man who cannot control his spirit is like a city without walls. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 10/10/17

Bondage, Terror & White Women

Submission to dominance as a gift to him.

A truly baffling belief is Anne Desclos' assertion: "A truly submissive woman is to be treasured, cherished and protected for it is only she who can give a man the gift of dominance." It runs counter to the claims and cries of Western women. I guess many white women have not lost attachment to their terror of their men's propensity to kill them with aplomb! I am recalling the Inquisition period of European history! This is baffling, and why there is a distinction between the African and the white versions of freedom; this one stark contrast.

She projects into, I believe, into the psyche from Europe's history that fundamentally believed in the subjugation of thoughtful women contributing their gifts to their cultures and infusing power into their lives. African and other women indigenous to their lands cannot forget white women have been chattel to their men for most of their centuries. It means, in translation, there is a leaning, a longing to return to their feudal system of old within their DNA! The question to that is why should we return to where we have never been, and do not come from?

Secrets before...

Secretive women, private in their nature, call men to them, who think beyond themselves into the light of who they are becoming. These women need that to grow the way plants need shadow as well as light. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

IN Red, an old lady, a younger woman!

Rue McClanahan (February 21, 1934 – June 3, 2010) was an American actress

who starred in Golden Girls !!!! In fact, she was the reason I watched the show.

She was sexy, and aroused me, at times, near an incapability to cool down!

Couldn't watch her enough! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

Playing around with the idea of grace, of beauty, of being free and 'in' love is (as the lyric goes) a many splendored thing! Not to toy with the idea of being lost in the initial stages of engagement with the opposite sex puts the soul into a trajectory into possibilities.

"What does that mean?" a child may ask.

LOST UNAWARE!

A silent walk is a long conversation.

Long lost is the correct sense of time under an understanding of Time that begins a new year in the middle of winter, the time to dream and sleep above ground warm. We are long out of the understanding of who we are in the world divided by the assembly of energies acquiring things to the exclusion of relationship with Life! We are in the midst of prophecies fulfilling themselves. The east of the continent will sink beneath the Atlantic ocean. Around the world the waters will arise, and the laws of lack will take over filling the empty spaces water once held Life with dust. Ownership of water will become part of the military budgets of a very few nations hogging water, and other countries will become dependent on subsistent living unable to lift their gaze above thirst and starvation! The true nature of all participants will come to the surface, and millions will die.

People, the world over, will find it difficult to maintain their sanity, and the tens of thousands of killers we graduate in these United States from high schools will find ways to kill and terrorize their communities as resources diminish in a land of immense resources. Americans will do as they did after 9/11, and long for the way things used to be, and little more. It was a pitiful state of being sustained for almost 20 years by weak leaders unable to take advantage of the few weeks following the attacks to make the available space for worldwide peace work in a circle of nations. This practice will prevail; it will dominate the news, which means it will be (as dictated) be the monitor for conversation, and ineffective reaction.

Millions won't understand much of this given the type of education received, and many children bewildered by it all will suffer through it in profound silence ignorant of the how and the why.

Afros were meant to build pride being Black in America, as a Negro becoming an acknowledgement of self above the terror of being murdered with aplomb by whites protected by a system of belief. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories [November 15, 2017]

2 Similar Styles, 2 Different Approaches to Life!

DACA

Drumpf's a piece of 💩 In any event, you still have to grapple with your beloved outdated, and at times poorly worded Constitution, -Section 1, Clause 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment reads:

"All persons [BORN] or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside"

If you know the history adequately, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments are the result of black liberation struggle and black grievances against the U.S. government. The 14th Amendment, in part, sought to address deficiency in the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision. The Dred Scott case (1857) held 'a free negro of the African race, whose ancestors were brought to this country and sold as slaves, is not a "citizen" within the meaning of the Constitution of the United States-- therefore had no standing to sue in federal court'

The irony, while [BLACK] Haitians and other [BLACK] Africans are blocked and/or deported under the Trump Regime, [WHITE] Russians and Norwegians are very welcome. And this is labeled merit-based immigration.

"While the president rails against children of undocumented immigrants, wealthy Russians rent his condos—at huge costs—so they can have American kids." - Michael Scipio 

Melania Trump was born April 26, 1970. She is one of the more beautiful women on the international stage, but as Trump's wife one of the most solemn troubled wives on the international stage. Being famous makes speculation legitimate for those of us who believe in privacy, respect it; but feel deeply the vibrations between couples simmering with dark waves between them. What can one do for so public a person and what does her marriage have to do with immigration?  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1/23/18 

Perspectives Given by position

Cell phone usage obscuring how you think you look? Then you've entered a way of not seeing yourself, seeing yourself as you think you appear. This is a nuance of the early stages of cell obsession in immature hands at the beginning of a century that does know itself, yet! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/15/17

Death eyes. I am done.

Dead eyes, not as dramatic as these, are plenteous in modern society. They make thinkers think, parents shudder, conscious social scientists reassess their thought processes, and brings into focus what ails the soul of American culture is its disconnection from the touch of Life's Web. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/15/17

When a woman needs to fuck a man, and the man is aching to do so an agreement is set neither can depart from. It is the contract between souls to unite, and the consequences of chance have to be measured first. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

Balcony is a good place to 'see' your woman safe from all wrong in the swirling around in the outside world, where security is an illusion, not far from the dream of alone. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 9.13.17

Balconies, for a couple, can be extensions of erotica and imagined as temples above the fray, a place to be above, and within what ails your soul from the workplace. What the height means depends upon perception and the perception of being above others is humbled by the smallness of being beneath a vast sky!... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Sept. 11, 2017
