We come fromThis, We become That.

A study in prayer notices the subtleties of intimacies within doubt. In prayer is the substance of things spoken in hope. Faith within hope is the substance from which our parents conceived of the idea of a child balancing the elements to produce boy and girl babies. This nuance feels our pulse as we pray, as we speak into the volume of sounds holding worlds together. A study in prayer is a beginning. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/4/18

DEEP PROBE: Honesty

Lovers naked embraced.

"To create lasting intimacy, there will be many times you'll have to exchange 'want to' for 'will do' - another reason so many relationships don't last long term. Honesty and vulnerability are REQUIRED - not optional. They can't be bargained, cheated, or lied away AND still have connection as the end result. If intimacy is TRULY what you want, stop making your primary focus sexing your mate into an orgasmic stupor and start telling the truth. Then any ecstasy that follows will actually mean something besides more laundry and a shower." - Eden Adele, Jan. 13, 2017

This is Sacred: lovers naked embrace

body of perfection of an older woman

Many women don't know this but great sources of pride arise in husbands and fathers who know their women's weight gain is connected and linked to their relationship with their woman. Her body (like his) makes promises to the other, and the birth of a child signifies something holy and unattainable by others outside their paradigms or shifts in the powers of their body's spirit, and their shared spiritual bond. It is significant weight gain after birth, during marriage and alongside the evolving of a relationship between a man and his woman that lends something solid and intangible to the way a man lovingly regards his wife in public and watches her naked around the house. No one knows their secrets or what it means to walk with a woman who has given so much while trusting in your ability to protect her, be a man to her and love her with every bit of the lust, the need for her, and the desire to lust after her that leads him back into her bed again and again and again! Gained weight is an accumulation of powers, and properly done in a sacred manner the body's shape becomes the sacred within women and the man who is man to her.

I know and recognize the run from weight gain currently popular but women in this league, more succinctly this mindset, found the language and sound of the 'sacred feminine' foreign, offensive, elusive and menacing if they peek into what it is to care for their wombs, as the care for their souls. Such depth goes against the cultural grain and understandably so. Western history reeks of what white men did to their women who ventured into the sacred powers of womanhood. They killed them after torture and ridicule! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10.16.14

Women to know Men to find out 3

Innocent Black & sexy say something ...

6.

An innocent looking, Black and sexy woman says something to the senses of men. The calibre of each man attracted to her tells the woman, the recipient of their attraction to her powers, is a story discernible within seconds. Translated to a man's head is either an intellectual process leading to a decision with good consequences, or a non-process leading to the head attached to drive, uncontrolled desire, and fire. Sex appeal's guises are shields for a woman, and tricksters for men to 'see', or be manipulated by. It is the proper order of the intangibles men cannot have access to without invitation and invitations come by knowledge and intimate knowing of things beyond the veils between women's legs, surrounding their heart chambers, and intellectual promiscuity into the complex talk culture has in store for women's compromises. Attraction after dissection isn't as simple as initial reactions. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3.13.15

a woman to her man...

am i asking too much ,to share intimacy sexuality and love with the man i desire - on a 1-1, i want to explore him and i want him to explore me - i want him to pleasure me opening my fire , to quench my thirst for us having great penetrative sex raw uncut - creative primeval - open expression of my sexuality by being with him
the lioness wants her lion - to lie with her , caressing her body , kissing her lips ,
open her with raw uncontrollable emotions
see the wetness of her lips drip
lick her
she bows down to her lion asking him to light his fire inside her - to make the heat intense unbearable
as she moans ...

UNDERSTANDING what is between us

The image and the understanding of a woman who is a mother is a part of how her lover or husband views her when she is the most vulnerable to who they are as a couple. In a sheer black night gown and nothing else she is a serious vixen capable and bent upon conquest and consumption of the oils, the liquids and fumes of what within her man is essential to her sexual being. It is magical romance, lust, desire and need for each other. The man's penis, her wet vagina and the secrets they share are like cinnamon to sweet breads, or pollen to the butterfly. A child will never see this in his mother. A man, her man will.  - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 6.20.14 

We met in a pool, and I took this picture without a camera to remember the treasure someone else sees in her. 

What we don't know, young!

"A man may chase a woman, but it is the woman that catches the man!" was pretty much the gist of what the men I respected, as a young man, conveyed to me in the short months after I lost my virginity in my twenties, and before my first marriage. It is one thing to hear a thing and another to live in it. . ." - Gregory E. Woods, (Dawn Wolf) Keeper of Stories December 2, 2013

"Two lovers come together hidden from the open scrutiny darkened by lost loves is a way to protect what is hidded & reveal what is plain to see, but difficult to grasp with crudeness." - Gregory E. Woods, (Dawn Wolf), Keeper of Stories 12.16.15

Drawn To Be Married

"Every man has a dream of the woman who is his dream come true, and every man whose dream was realized is shaped by the woman who saw, and chose him as her mate. It is marvelous and a timeless dance. Be it honored, or understood it, the relationship between all the elements that pull the two into the one lives to create again and again and again." - Gregory E. Woods, 2.25.14

PRACTICE 14

LOVE & LOVERS

“Lovers loving each other is an enviable state of being for many raised without touch, warmth and intimacy. Stifled by rigid codes and rules around touch for reasons pretending to care for the well-being of the child teachers, and parents adhering to these unnatural standards create cold individuals. Killers come from these standards. Killers are easy to develop in a culture composed of Fire that lusts after war, and aggression is at odds with peaceful solutions and gentle souls are viewed as weaklings.

It is hard living in the United States for many sensitive people. Contradictions are dealt with irrationally. Differences are resolved with laws void of understanding about the depth of relationship to Life in its pure forms. Reconciliation is too hard and is, at times, replaced with groups of people being forced to conform to lifestyles that grate against natural law. But, Love is stronger than Death. A soul learns that better being loved and touched.”

Rumi said it best to the people bent in the coldness of their hearts to train, educate, and take care of our children, "Your task is not to seek love, but to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." © Gregory E. Woods

the Prophecy of Love

Lisa Marie Talavera & Jason Ariel her boyfriend

"Life is the expression of the Reason for being. The Reason represents the intelligence that is within all things. For example, it is the power within a seed, when planted in the garden grows step by step to the fulfillment of its reason for being. Everything has a purpose, a time and a season. As we enjoy the abundance of fruits and vegetables that are harvested at this time in the cycles or seasons of life, remember that Autumn is a wonderful example of the fulfillment of life in many plants.

The question of changing your life for the better is answered by finding the real you which is your inner purpose."

When you took your first breath of life Jason, you became a living being.. And at that moment there is no doubt in my mind that your mother & father looked down at you and didn't feel the specialness that is what you are... The shocking thing is, 30 years later from the day you took first your first breath.. Now fully grown into a man, I have not one doubt in my mind how undeniably unique & special you truly are, and that everyone around you knows and sees it.. because of your integrity, your strength, your intelligence & inarguably noble values that were born in the heart so pure 30 years ago today.. and still live beating strong in your heart, in your body.... Oh, and did i mention you look like a God?

My goodness let me just take one moment and thank you for being gorgeous dear.. everyday I get to wake up and lay my eyes on you I feel blessed... Blessed to have such a statuesque boyfriend who inside & out stands for everything good in life. The stars were aligned when you were created my baby. You are so very special. Everyone knows how good of a person you are and that they can count on you...

You are the antithesis of selfish, simply the most selfless good person I know, and for that reason alone every day by just being alive you have fulfilled your reason for life. On this day all I want to say is Happy Birthday to the one without whom my life is incomplete.... Because of the pure joy, love and happiness you bring to my life and the lives of others. I know one day you will marry me and make me the happiest woman on earth. One day when you continue to bring that love & devotion to me & our future family.

This day, the day you were born, is simply the best day of my life. I promise to make your day as special as you are to me, and I promise to make your year even more... Thank you for being my boyfriend, my best friend, the light in my day, my support, my strength, my reason for being and the love of my life... I love you to the end of the earth and back Jason Ariel... — Lisa Marie Talavera 11.8.13

TO TELL THE KISS

Bolivian model Gaylecita Dulce said
 'In one kiss you'll know everything I haven't said!'
June 25, 2015 

 

Using Pablo Neruda's words in any of three Romantic languages is a powerful experience promised. Once promised as a recipient there are obligations that transcend the moment's magic into a future together, if that inspiration is the women's intent?

""En un beso, sabras todo lo que no he dicho." or " Dans un baiser , vous saurez tout ce que je ne l'ai pas dit." or "In one kiss, you'll know everything I haven't said."

This was my reaction the one time I experienced such a moment as a gift to my soul. A child came from that relationship; as did enormous bounty and baffling consequences.

But, that is another story. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 7.3.15
