Life Accomplishment: excellence.

Morning meditation: 

Pray in every situation. Know your worth. Don’t let the past harm your future. Stop comparing yourself to others. Trust your inner voice. Everything doesn’t need to be said. Love and forgive yourself first. Life is short. Strive to achieve your goals. Know your limits. Inspire. Believe. Words are powerful. Speak wisely.

"The maturation of spirit, the development of mind and talent, and how beauty matures in playful ways has always been a source of wonder for those who appreciate how such things work in their own lives!

This is what I see looking at this photograph!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/1217

MATURITY, BEAUTY & PERCEPTION

"I enjoy the depth of the look elegant mature women carry. I have written a lot about mature women. As much as I have spoken, and written I cannot capture the essence of an elusive quality shared by hummingbirds, mature beauty, or an intelligent aging process." ~Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

BEAUTY

“Inexplicable beauty has always confounded and overwhelmed the senses. To approach it without truth is as precarious as entering the sacred lodge of serpents without respect, stillness of mind, or permision. The lodge of serpents is a place of healing protected by maya (illusion). Stories were created by Gods to control the movement of men towards the mysterious respect due the enormous energy of the sacred feminine that holds, creates, designs, and defines Life directly, indirectly, by allure, and from the the depth of knowing required to be a sacred being. The stories were meant to undo the powers of the Goddess. But over time the creatures from the divisive stories of the Gods found themselves without their strength over the intricate weaving of Spider Women’s designs. Those stories found themselves in a new era; an era without peer.

Balance made a quest for the attention of our children as they grew up. The serpent medicine was taken out by the healers from the dark places of undoing into the lights of daytime. Songs were created to gift the People at dawn. As the newness of unlearning crippling paradigms gains momentum wars increase against the promise of sacred unions, the multi-linguistic soul of deep beauty, and the music ancient to the future that will restore the balance of the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine!” –Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of the Drum

Creation story of Lori Anne Williams

...she was given an introspective beauty capable of reaching, tutoring, probing the inner sanctum of knowledgeable uses of language. All she required of her admirers was their presence, and of her students they were required to look deeper into themselves to find the mirror of what they saw in her within them. This was the lot of Lilith who chose not to be Eve.

-Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of the Drum

Washington DC Artists

Washington DC is a city of contrasts and contradictions. Musicians and other artists including healers have a helluva time living in a city that needs them but doesn't really know where to place them, or really compensate them.  It is an odd statement but the reality of it is lived everyday by artists like Allyn Johnson  & Lori Anne Williams . These two musicians have devolped with intelligence a niche that affords them a life to create some incredible music, develop a following, and get paid. 

It takes work, and ingenuity to make a living in this area as a musician.  More often than not one has to expand the medium to include other God-given gifts to give the music gift a lot more places to perform.  The choices grow with each encounter with someone impressed and moved by your music, and your relationship with your music.  Each venue pulls, in this small town, from every class, and type of person the city houses and attracts.  Congressmen, fire fighters, government workers, students, retail clerks, church folks, lawyers, street cats, and others support the arts in a town that takes its power from a relentless work ethic that tries to be resilent, and hard working without rest, true reflection.  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
