What We Can Do Can Be Done.

Balloon Ark created by my cousin, Marcia Liggett at First Church of God, for Amber's Amazing Balloons. Sept. 9, 2018, which is her daughter's business. Amber, a new college graduate in grad. school right now, has been in business since elementary school. It is a successful business. 

Parenting is an art. In today's climate it isn't acted out this way. With so much of American thought and practice as parents under duress one would logically believe it not possible given the wealth and advantages of this culture. For people whose ancestors are indigenous to this land, and from the Land of the Blacks there are ancient ways of being a parent, and a part of community that is foreign to European thought, belief and practice. This is important to fathom because the fact is white Americans have created chaos where they know order belongs. Why they do this instinctually requires deep study.

I mention this in the context of acknowledging my cousin Maria Liggett, and her husband, Lamont, who have retained and mastered an ancient way of raising and developing their children that outsizes the puny thought process common in American life that develops the lowest impulses within children from suicide to gang warfare and truancy. How a nation underserves its children is based on the belief systems held during the long periods of European life in their Dark Ages.

They raised their children in a white community on purpose in Western Pennsylvania, which is significant because the climate there is seeped in the self-destructive dynamics of racism, as a social construct. The two of them set their standards of expectation high, and humbly influenced a white town towards a higher awareness outside of, and away from the primitive outlines they feel special within as 'superiors'. Their two children had struggles within what is typical of white American resistance to the challenges to their assertions of superiority in terms of intelligence, capacity to learn and exceed. The two children started and developed business in elementary school that have grown. The boy, Rob, has a successful photography business. He is in high school. His sister, Amber's balloon business afforded her opportunities too numerous to mention in the small space of an article.

The point is one of excellence. It is not a target point of the majority. For those on this trajectory there is a special consideration: they will find a way to learn the secrets and the techniques of the best from the best of the best. The rest?

Well. . .

Walking Story

Bethenny Frankel on the set of Extra, in Hollywood! 

Damn, she is fine and contradictory in nature and manner!!!

Bethenny Frankel's walk is more of power in a man's world, and less a woman respectful of the blending her essence is capable of deepening a union between her and a man... Millions of American women give into this paradigm believing in its advantages, while questioning why they don't have basic things: a husband, a peaceful balance within, and answers that begin with why they have a place in Creation to restore balance!... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 9/23/18 

Afraid, Aware!

Cindy Crawford, a study of a woman. 

Cindy Crawford. She was a young woman when she entered the public collective of memorable white American beauties. She singularly changed the standards of beauty, as all accepted standards are in white estimation, into something relaxing the rigidity of the standard historically held over other races. That is a lot to say, even harder is to have spent time understanding the racial ideologies in place in the West, the play of sexual dynamics in politics, white conquests, and Europe's dominance over every sphere of existence. As a man, a father, it was my responsibility to learn these subjects from the unique perspective of an American Indian and an American African!

For a little woman, Cindy Crawford was on multiple magazine covers, and being studied introspectively by many thinking people in African American communities. She may or may not have known about it then, but surely as she lived longer it became evident. I am not privy to her views on race, and race and beauty. If she has shared any views, young women need to get their heads out of their clouds and ponder what she may have said, and did not share.

My perspective is mine, but I am fully aware of how far Americans praise and worship youth, as if it staves off aging, and dying. But, since my own youth the fallacy of this tendency has always been evident. Unlike millions of American youth, I sought, listened to and studied what the aged and wise had seen, and learned, and wished to pass down into the next generations.

Without historical reference readily available to them many readers stop here. The curious, who are seeking the truth, raise questions that hopefully will lead towards truth, and deeper understanding about the circular nature of truths governing daily life, and public policies. It is work.

As Whe Walks.

Kim Kardashian West strolling across a street raising the temperatures of many. 

It is easily done the multiple ways she creates wealth, but she had parents, who embodied this way of living. Most don't appreciate these lessons, or even understand what Mr. and Mrs. Kardashian embedded into their family, taught their children about wealth, and access to material power... ~ Gregory E.

MEDICINE teaching.

a story from Songs of a Father. 

Mena is a strong Latina with strong sense of self. Of the questions to answer one to point towards is answered in an estimation of value. "What is the value of esteem without self-analysis?"

Mena's eyes belie the myth a man whore wants to believe that justifies his acts. Her eyes have horror, and hardness. Are men's actions under the spell of lust forgiven, or forgotten as his euphoria subsides? If so, does the whore place the john's essence in bile, or cleanse it in prayer?  If a john were the whore would he be a better man after each encounter? Would his feelings matter, or change the environment in his, and in the woman's worlds? Mena eloped with the myths sustaining a life of flesh. Many women do that to survive. What do they do to live?

Men who want one time with any 'easy woman' are men who want someone for nothing to care about casting her aside as a conquest as their lust subsides. When those men have daughters will their daughters remember this about their fathers, or sensing it conform to their father's ideology in their lives? Men in the shadows love an exotic woman as much as a forthright man loves the exoticism of his dream of a wife to care for, and love in the matching way of a special man for the woman of his dreams.

Good men can't promise to give what they have taken, or take what is not given to them. Women believe what they know. In strong ways they say: "Our punany is our own to share the way sacred things distinguish the worlds around us we cannot see, but know are there." But, pimps in their game have a jackeduped mentality, shall we say: credo. "We don't believe that shit!". . .

Lady Sonia.

Lady Sonia stands for what she wants to give to a man, or take by various depraved means! Pussy is a storm in the wrong body, a revival in others. Men determine outcome by lust, or care, appreciation and reciprocation. Circles are the Teacher. ~ Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories [12/9/18]

Lady Sonia isn't modest. She is suggestive.

Kim Kardashian Wears the Givenchy Marzia Sandals for World AIDS Day Gala

December 4, 2014


Kim Kardashian has been doing a lot of charity work lately. First, she visited U.S. troops on board an aircraft carrier based in Dubai, and most recently, she attended the World  AIDS Day Gala held in West Hollywood on Monday. For the occasion, the reality TV star wore a three-piece outfit by Juan Carlos Obando that included a crop top, a matching maxi skirt that was slit-to-there, plus an accompanying long vest. She finished the outfit with matching nail color and a pair of strappy brown sandals by Givenchy.

How do you like Kim K.’s latest “red carpet” attire? Do you approve?

She looks fine. But I kind of wish she wore something structured and more sophisticated. This outfit reminds me of lingerie. That’s not to say she didn’t pull it off, because she did.

Now on to Kim’s footwear for the evening. They’re the Givenchy “Marzia” sandals — sister to the “Matilda”. They feature one-of-a-kind futuristic architectural heels that are 4.5 inches tall, sexy wrap around straps, and a flattering t-strap silhouette. Below is a similar pair in nude.

You like? How will you wear the sandals if you had them?

You can easily score the Marzia online. They retail at $1750. If you want the brown variant on Kim, you’re in luck because that pair is on sale over here. The heel portion of Kim’s sandals are crafted from calfhair material so the shoes were once priced slightly higher at $1895. Now you can grab them for $1326.50.

Where to place value.

Actress, Jaclyn Smith is 72 years old. She is fine, easy on the eyes, any man would say, but for those of us who enjoy watching good looking woman age she has what has become fashionable: facial surgery! She is smooth in essence similar to the way she was young on the 1970's series Charlie's Angels. Every four days she applies Alboline to her face in a hot shower, and each night she sleeps on a slant propped up by three pillows because it helps her breath better with allergies she has. She claims it is good for her back. The facial crème, sold in stores, is not from her line.

She said her hair got her, her first acting job on the McCloud series in the 1970's. She was originally one of the Brett girls. She'd been seen on a Brett commercial. That got her the job. Now, she works with hair stylist Jose Baer as a team creating wigs with less hair, rooted color and lots of different colors so that the wig does not look like a hat.

Jaclyn Smith, before she became successful, initially starred for five years on the hit series, Charlie's Angels. She has appeared in over 50 films and series. As testament to her skill level she played Jacqueline Kennedy in one film, and starred in the CSI: Crime Scene Investigation series. She created a business empire covering fashion to skin care to home furnishings during the expanse of four decades! Two astonishing things about her clothing line are a line of clothes made of vegan leather and that her brand has been worn by 100 million women! To top that she has been in business 33 years!

"There is equity in 33 years!" she said. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/19/18

Jaclyn Smith, actress was (born October 26, 1945) and became a successful American actress and businesswoman.

FRINGE CREATURES
by Melissa La Flamme

Wisdom ways say,
don't tell.
Show.

Embody.
Smell.
Move.
Breathe
fire.
Sing honey
rising
from the wellspring.

Notice strong
what residue
lingers
on your damp soul,
what releases
a perfectly
discordant note
off the chart
of your everyday
transactional reality.
What surprising riff
alights
psyche's
true
musk;
incites
a rumble
of courage
in you, as you,
crashing on waves
of ancient anger
running pure
now as protest
to overthrow
everything about you
not authentic,
not of soul.

A revolution
you are,
down and dirty
on some wholly, holy
quest
to call in,
reclaim,
protect
and cultivate
all of you,
your one messy life.
Ruthless in its terrible
Beauty.

Discerning,
calling home
your true nature
from every
other
contortion
is what you do
til you don't;
til Mystery
unhinges you,
frees you
from daylight's
mind-chains,

til the trap door to
crazy-wisdom
creaks open
and chaos
wafts
on ancestral winds,
revealing
abandoned buildings
strewn with
burnt-out bodies
of old lies,
waiting for release.

Ask Impossible
questions,
the real ones
you've avoided
til now.
Ask those Others
who meet you
when you're not looking.

The Ones
on the back roads
dusty with wander,
harbingers of a dangerous
liberation—
rare animals with attitude,
fringe creatures,
sovereign,
free of answers.
