CONNECTING INTANGIBLES for children



a beautiful woman's portrait of light.

Sydney Gurewitz Clemens said, "Art has the role in education of helping children become like themselves instead of more like everyone else."

Art also teaches children to merge; a concept essential to group dynamics that require listening, compromise, and understanding. The inability to merge adversely affects the way people drive. They are less inclind to understand their relationship to other things that seem inonocuous, but aren't. The inability to merge is a matter of life and death. Art teaches this art effortlessly. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/26/16

Become the Sky 

Inside this new love, die.

Your way begins on the other side.

Become the sky.

Take an axe to the prison wall.

Escape.

Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.

Do it now.

You’re covered with a thick cloud.

Slide out the side.

Die, and be quiet.

Quietness is the surest sign that you’ve died.

Your old life was a frantic running from silence.

The speechless full moon comes out now.

MARRIAGE: to merge or not to merge

Love Is About Bringing Out The Best In You

Anytime you find yourself in a love relationship, you should be happy, excited, overjoyed, and at peace. In other words, when you love and are loved in return, the best should be coming out of you. Let me say it this way. If you find yourself losing who you are as a person and/or making excuses for why you're not achieving what you set out to achieve, look in the mirror to examine what love is. As my mentor dropped in my spirit the other day, love brings out the best while insecurity brings out the worst.

The Bible declares, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." That's my word for you. Examine what love is and allow it to make you better. - Rev. Dr. Sinclair Grey III 2.12.14

To love oneself either happens early in life, or later after struggle and pain. The first way is easier. That is self love. What you seem to point out is directed towards people who base their marriages and relationships upon conflict. Your first sentence is the ideal marriage, a reciprocal one. Most aren't ready for it as evidenced by their inability to remember seeing one, and for others who've never conceived of it as a possibility they'd look at you and say, "What is he talking about?"

The gap between the popular state of being married and a reciprocal marriage is a chasm. Knowing, in depth, what reciprocation in marriage looks like is one step closer to embodying love, as the apostle Paul described it to the Corinthian church, with ease. Trying to get there is as difficult a task as trying to teach a grown up driver to merge into the highway. It is too subtle an art form for the crude and abrupt. - Gregory E. Woods, 2.15.14

ONE OF MY HAPPIEST MOMENTS!

The Ceremonial Hunter

I have had many, and like Barry said these days are the happiest, but I say that because these days are alive, and the others as good as they were have happened, and are alive memories.  One of my moments was a supreme moment in the forest in the days I was hunting and stalking wild dog packs. It was dangerous, but I relished it all. 

The moment I am remembering was a supreme morning of sunlight that gave more light to the canopy, and moisture to the ground. I was silent and flowing barefoot listening and merging with the rhythms that moves the soul outside the body as the body effortlessly reclines into invisibility. Everything within me understood everything around me guiding the coming together of something I barely was aware of. 

As the foliage wet my chest, and the Earth subtly moved beneath me the thickness of the bush parted ever so slightly, and one of those sacred spaces that dot forests revealed itself to me. Before me the sun touched down a circle around a feral cat deeply enthralled in thoughtful meditation. What most don't know, grasp, or understand is that the substance of prayer emanates from animals constantly, but in the secret places it is more dramatic, and animals tend to restrain from killing. I was to be no different. With great skill I stepped forward with no sound and touched the cat's neck.

The cat leaped high in the air turned around in a 180 degree turn, stared into my eyes incredulously and seemed to shout, "Oh, shit!!"

He landed. 

He couldn't believe such a thing happened, and wondered later, I am sure, how such a thing happened to him. We stared into each other on opposite sides of the circle of light. We probed deep into each other's intent before the cat's fierceness returned. He turned slowly, and walked into the morning shadows fully conscious of me and where I was standing near his sacred space. 

Out of respect for sacred space I stood still letting the light encase me, and the prayers within became emanations. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.26.13

" Lutar pelo amor é bom, mas alcançá-lo sem luta é melhor ". - William Shakespeare

How do we love? is the heart song between man and woman. It is the predator dominating male energy that assaults the feminine energies born for divinity, but upon their intentions are the evil and dark thrusts of men upon women's spirit. - Gregory E. Woods 4.29.13


How do we love? is the heart song between man and woman. It is the predator dominating male energy that assaults the feminine energies born for divinity, but upon their intentions are the evil and dark thrusts of men upon women's spirit.

The spiritual work of merging, and overcoming the darkness of beliefs steeped in the overthrow of the Goddess forms of divinity is the most pressing of tasks to perform within ourselves.

Religion will fail give way to the spiritual worlds where knowledge was given to create paths to the roots of worship, worthiness, prayer, and sacred centerness. Before that occurs let the spirit within each unlearn itself, undress to be vulnerable in front of the mirrors Life presents to us in each other. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4.29.13

Son, what do you notice first breasts, eyes or lips, and in what order?

Hello

LEARN TO BE TO 'SEE'

"When those precious and magical moments linger into the following years the need to describe it dissipates and merges into the way the two of you are together. It becomes you, and informs others. If sharing grows from this union it is shared by the presents you are to each other, and the presence of who you are has become a present, a gift to a world in need of demonstration!"

... more human than angelic the celestial power of suggestion fit right in with the notion of merging with her spirit. To part her legs he stopped short between the notion and touching her hearing her question to him, "Will you be man for me?" - Heart Song Stone Man 2.19.13

hand held heart

There is the intense drama and contribution of our souls, and the unction of spiritual connections between time and space and the unseen worlds we agreed to emerge from in every kiss with the twin of our souls, and mate to our souls. The questions beg to be asked:

"How many souls can our Being merge with another?"
"Can  we truly love in all the directions our spirit is called to and from?"
"With whom do we merge?"
"How many souls, and bodies do we have??

These questions of existence are they proof of our identity as sacred beings? Do these probing insights into who we are live as testaments to the permanence of intangibles that follow us from lifetime to lifetime? Do the answers shape our entry into the other worlds when we die? Gregory E. Woods, 3.31.13

DEEP MERGE

"Deeply put inside the soul beyond the mind." - Dawn Wof, Keeper of Stories 

from the thought provoking page of
SEX AND GOD

If only we try to live sincerely it will go well with us, even though we are certain to experience real sorrow, and great disappointments, and also will probably commit great faults and do wrong things; but it certainly is true that it is better to be high-spirited, even though one makes more mistakes than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent. It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love, is well done.~*~ Denny Hutchison 10.16.12

Deeper in bed

The Right Wife

OZZY OSBOURNE, rock star

That is a strange cat, but in his older years it seems he married the right woman who got him. By his own admission his talent engulfed him and the world of fans he played to and for, but Ozzy had no control over his spirit and admitting so got some wisdom out of the deal.

His revelation into self-control and thoughtful engagements with his higher self are 30+ years too late, but so be it. It takes some a longer time than others to ascend, and ascend we do; at our own pace. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1.11.13
