SEE Wonderfully

the lovely form by Roland Dawson.

… the lovely form, the composure is elegance; the flowing lines of this woman's own legacy of lovely form is in the spirit of what are necessities in the art of the feminine. Here is an image holding still breath, bring forth the sounds of songs, and in it a celebration of an essence (we) men cannot live without... There is more, but how far can language translate what cannot be touched? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/25/18

in the medical drama series, 'House'. She was born May 21, 1966.

"She is a pretty woman, but the caption reads in English: "The men aren't very complicated!" It is funny how beautiful women can capture our attention and cast dispersion, or throw a slight our way without us being upset!

It is a spell cast, is what it is!
It takes discipline to master the urge to be distracted thus..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

He Loves her, He Needs her

The Awaken One.spoken Poetry 

A voice that lasts a lifetime came out of the dark,
From the fetus, black beauty connected to my heart.
Hidden somewhere deep within your melanin skin,
You are the universe that never has any end.
Within your arteries pumps beauty for us all,
You are teaching us that even God can give a smile.
She said her hair wasn't done and she didn't have any makeup on,
Do me a favor and leave your beauty along.

Ancient autumn daybreak comes because of you,
Your black mix with beautiful become one of the few.
I am instinctively feeling your connection all the time,
That's why I always put you in my rhymes.
Always evolving is your eyes so deep,
Vital lovemaking that always put us to sleep.
She said her hair wasn't done and she didn't have any makeup on,
Do me a favor and leave your beauty along.

An inherent sense of knowing the beauty of your walk,
Please forgive me, but even your booty talk.(wink)
I am always harvesting the look you give to me,
Writing poetry hoping for a kiss for free.
Your nature’s symmetry is irresistible to the human mind,
Creating a brand new language ebonics call a Dime.
She said her hair wasn't done and she didn't have any makeup on,
Do me a favor and leave your beauty along.

A revolving circle of perfection was always your to control,
You are teaching the world about melanin gold.
You have me changing my religion with a smile on my face,
Losing my mind for a second singing “Amazing Grace.”
The sun shines a little brighter when you step outside,
There is proof of your beautiful lips beauty cannot hide.
She said her hair wasn't done and she didn't have any makeup on,
Do me a favor and leave your beauty along.

You always delight my searching eye with your coke bottle shape,
Proving that turning my head to look at you was not a mistake.
I give you immortal love from a king to a God,
being blessed by your Skin pigment is such a great job.
The most significant commandment is love I so gladly do,
Being baptized in your beautiful, powerful womb TOO!!
She said her hair wasn't done and she didn't have any makeup on,
Do me a favor and leave your beauty along...

I am therefore we are.  Ubuntu.

I dig where you're coming from. "With a glimpse of where you will go from this place of being a man imagine where maturity will find a place within you to justify growth. You make it easier to grow where you are going, Patrick Hornsby with your sense of what a woman's sacred place is and what to call the 'She' of essence: the Womb. That is the place the warrior within the man develops a priest craft..."

The Subtle Linguistics of Polite White Supremacy

"The pretense white women exude can come across as sophistication to the naïve, the ill-informed who fear speaking against this way of being better than..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

THE 3 KEY INGREDIENTS OF
POLITE WHITE SUPREMACY

In detail, Polite White Supremacy relies on three key components to ensure its success: comfort, control, and confidentiality.

Whites who participate in #PWS desire to be comfortable in all settings while maintaining some influential level of control over all situations without acknowledging this power. Omitting acknowledgment of white privilege gives off the psychological effect that whites have somehow worked harder than non-whites and blacks must be lazy since statistically blacks are suffering a great deal in America. They pretended this was all natural.

These three components manifests themselves in various scenarios. They are not restricted to obvious positions like law enforcement or government. Often times, it was not the wealthy or elite that carried out the bulk of these practices. Their employees did. One such group of employees were home loan officers. White home loan officers carried out and maintained Polite White Supremacy by using the subtle tactic of redlining. 

Redlining ensured whites would control of their neighborhoods comfort by confidentially employing this tactic. Later, discriminatory hiring practices reinforced an intrinsic authoritative status for whites. 

INGREDIENT 1 — COMFORT

The comfort level of whites relied on redlining to keep blacks out of white neighborhoods. To maintain comfort, home loan officers covertly switched from overt segregation to the more subtle practice of redlining, one early example of Polite White Supremacy.

This practice prevented black people people from getting home loans, bank accounts, insurance and other services necessary for financial growth. Often times, poor whites would get the aforementioned services while middle and upper-class blacks faced rejection. This ensured that Black Americans would have a much more difficult time in establishing a multi-generational legacy. Eventually, redlining helped to create present-day black inner-cities across America along with dependence on white oppressors for employment and certain resources. Meanwhile, this white participation privilege lead to multi-generational wealth and self-sufficiency in white communities. 

As mentioned before, all classes of whites can and did participate in Polite White Supremacy. Moreover, Polite White Supremacist practices such as redlining reinforced stereotypes and portrayals of blacks as underachievers because it helped create the ghetto. Because of practices such as redlining and employment discrimination, blacks are still inaccurately perceived as dependent underachievers. 

Omitting the acknowledgment of white privilege from practices such as redlining gives off the psychological effect that whites have somehow worked harder than non-whites and blacks must be lazy since statistically blacks are suffering a great deal in America.

Redlining is a direct ancestor of gentrification. 

The subtle power of controlling neighborhoods, resources and wealth is present today in social and professional settings. Redlining disregarded the qualifications of people of color who already proved their competence, bravery, and skills. Remember, redlining is only one example of polite white supremacy. There are many others that ensured the comfort of white nerves.

BLACK WOMEN'S LIVES in print!

NEW ESSENCE


"Essence magazine has officially parted ways with Time Inc., making it a fully black-owned company for the first time in nearly two decades.

Essence Ventures, a company launched last year by Sundial Brands co-founder Richelieu Dennis, announced Wednesday that it had acquired Essence Communications.

Michelle Ebanks will remain the magazine’s president and is set to join the board of directors... Members of the executive team, which is made up entirely of black women, are to have an equity stake in business...

Essence was founded in 1970 as a publication to cater to black women. Forty-nine percent of the magazine was sold to Time Inc. in 2000, and the remaining 51 percent was sold to the media company five years later."

Holy Insight!

RUMI tells the humorous tale of an untutored boatman and a prideful grammarian. The grammarian asks the boatman if he knows Arabic grammar (a science that facilitates understanding the Qur'an). No? Well then, half your life is wasted! When the boat begins sinking in a whirlpool, the boatman asks if the grammarian knows how to swim. No? Then your whole life is wasted! (Masnavi 1: 2835-40)

Perceptions into self...

eyes of an NDN woman playing with your emotions.

Piercing into the soul eyes involuntarily evoke emotions, conjure up old memories, spark dreamtime for some, and see what is really there in the blink of an eye. It is an attribute of the eye science cannot recreate because the etheric qualities can touch, but not be touched, receive, and give back without commitments to form. Science needs form to formulate re-creation to believe in God and speculate on the relevance of the Goddess...

This is all mystery.

"Perfection is one of those concepts projecting past one's ability to translate into regular time and ordinary events what is in and of itself beyond words. The language limitation is pronounced in the presence of a woman's beauty that clogs the senses with memories of the sensation of being born anew. It is intoxicating the aroma of breathlessness. If that is a word, it is a concept. But, the problem of language stems from the sudden recollection that we once spoke in the eternal spaces with essences in a language incapable of hiding untruths. This can be pinched out of our recollections by beauty, and speculation in a logical mind if we relax into who we are alive." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories
