The Feel of this Essence.

Definitions. 

Beauty within the soul leaves admirers mute in her presence, as if holiness is a physical presence to connect fragments one with the other. Timeless quality is just that: timeless. Spiritual beauty is not simple; it is expressed as light in the eyes mirroring the weight of spiritual responsibility or spiritual powers. The substance of a spirit is in essence a series of stories developed intentionally to build, or destroy Life. For a man, if a woman's sex appeal is strong enough it will subdue the tendency to ask the right questions over the impulse to fuck, the need to copulate and the desire to have a way with a woman. The sex drive is in alignment with the impulse to be right in the spiritual realms. It is all in our breath where our words transform from the substance of weight in our thoughts into the audible words our ears transposed into the language of soul. These are fun things to be alone with pondering the powers of who we be! Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Sept. 7, 2018

Words to Tamara Fleming


". . . The flow comes from and is a part of an effect upon the senses of the observer and she who causes the soul to stir. It is fair to say the observed, and the observer co-exist within one. It is math, the law of math with its infinite way of being consistent. The symbol of hair for, within and from African women involves the intimate rush of knowing to belong to one's powers. Dreadlocks return millions throughout the African Diaspora to bound back from the terror of surviving under the dictates of slave master's grandchildren. The power within kinky hair ties strength to power, to purpose direction and in the direction where one is determined to go are the voices of Ancestors, who know us.

This powerful story is the kinky hair gone to the roots of the peoples of the darker hue.. 

This memory came from glancing into what is clear in your eyes!. . ."

IN the Depths of Human Experience.

Is it possible in the brokenness of 21st century the resurrection of divinity within the African? Could be, will it be inevitable? It is ever possible. 

It never could be a better time before, but now the dysfunction deep beneath and within the soul of Americans makes demands on common sense. A powerful African woman seated as an authority announces the presence of a husband completing sacred powers the two have responsibilities to fulfill. Birthed into the present how would crudeness and the crude way of being upon the Earth, our Mother accept the holiness of an African woman and African man, who are deep in the powers beyond the capacity of crudeness?

There is a lot asked of excellence, and a lot to fear. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1/28/19

Hat coolly worn by this woman is different in respect to her African heritage. It feels different, her style of being from her essence, from white women's projections via fashion! White women can wear African clothes, not the essence can the clothes wear. They, as anyone else, can only wear who they are in essence...  - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

the African People + the Terrorists

Royalty has its way of expressing itself outside the vernacular of Europe with profound dignity and the lightness of play with the essential elements of spirituality, in the context of what is ancient about African traditions. This is far away from the pretense of British royalty, which does not repent playing its game, as if its evil has nothing to do with its stench, its practiced cruelty and the Arabic terror attacks in Europe and the U.S.! This kind of denial is unique among apex predators. It is a blindness protected by fear: fear they created and sustained in others, and by the techniques that employ servitude with gratitude colored by fears of 'them'!

This is a language whites, for hundreds of years, have refused to acknowledge but know; didn't want to accept, but outlawed taking humanity from other people they don't respect. That's a puzzle? Imagine being the grandchild of an ex-slave negotiating a life among masters of terror, who claim not to be the terror they generate!

gingerly captured.

The way a hush can capture a feel inspired by the sight of a woman unclothed by a photographer is a capture. The way it feels is similar to the way one is stilled by the silence of awe. Anyway you look at the body you look at power on either side of the line between perceptions. The breast viewed with reverence, or with lust creates its own perceptions of divinity. Lost to lust is the perception of what is divine, and gained by desire is the beauty of understanding the breasts as nurturer, and a place for a man to recharge who he is to the 'She' of our existence!... - Gregory E.

"Is this respectful, or creative?" 

"Unbelief in the strength of women is founded on a concept of an overextended version of male superiority that suffers under the glare of our women, who know better. In the context of Black American history the strength of concepts from matrilineal societies hold Black families intact. Today, all the factors that debilitated the new Africans in the Americas were challenged by the old, strong traditions from the Land of the Blacks!..."
