All About Them Mysteries.

Karolina Kurkova by Matt Jones

White women stare into the camera lens of their phones with an idea of themselves that will not, or won't change. If they feel their image thrust upon other women is the center of their powers they don't understand how change creates the flow pattern for the return of power to those whose powers were taken by aggression, mean spirits and a specific kind of envy. Power like water returns to its source. Land upon water is land upon water because water allowed land to surface from the below. Awareness is water and moves this way in our state of being alive.

White American women's assumptions of superiority are mere assumptions standing in the water which in itself is impossible to do unless one is standing in shallow waters. At what point does this type of womanhood stand in the depths of water with the grounded strength of being whole in a fluid form? This mystery is a riddle, the riddle being one of existence, and one to ask of the womb! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6/30/18

La Toya Seduction by Roland Dawson, the mystique. 

The mystique has long been an asset for a woman in cultures that held authoritive advantages over the influences of the feminine energies. It is a startling recollection to those among us not cognizant of the vast range of world history on this subject. Sometimes, Roland Dawson, you do this stirring of the intellect and the imagination in simple settings...

You imply a lot in little spaces. That is quite the gift your way of matching; no playing with the sensual tease and the intellect!.... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/30/18 

Thought About It.

Defiance in a strong body can be perceived as strength, but the eyes. Bianka's eyes demand something her body is not offering.

"Many persons have the wrong idea about what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose." Helen Keller observed in her blindness. In the blindness many others have who can see with their eyes; their hearts deny the existence of their contradictions, and they remain, at least, consistent with their inconsistencies. In truth, how can one live deep in their denial? In all honesty, we all know how. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/18/18

Grandfather Teaching: Look Within

Rachel Gunn by Demao Seven shot January 2015.

Looking for a Tarzan is an admission of powerlessness. Predators look for admissions like this to feed off. "Will you be my Tarzan?" is the question a solid father will sniff out as the way of a predator, and a perpetrator looking for weakness and teach his daughters the way of the Hunter. Many a daughter has become canon fodder for wicked hunters. Many hunters of souls have lost their lives hunting for a daughter trained by a father to begin to become a Woman of Power... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/01/18

HI Heels!

Tracee Ellis Ross' pretty legs in red heels and a smile! 

Some sights are too hard to believe, even looking at it isn't the same as believing what you see!

When the unbelievable is before you the struggle is one with what is seen, what is believed, and what is incomprehensible to the senses, or one's understanding of what they thought they knew. Staying on the outskirts of a vision stops merging with the Unknown. It is an initial impulse to stay fixed with the body. Our tendency is to remain physical, but it is not natural. What is natural is to go home, and to stay where one is comfortable. This is the struggle of existence. Imagine what a moment will look like on the other side of the grave is an act of power! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Jan. 18, 2019)

Sunlight upon Marley Mason. Water and light are two elements of Creation. The fire of light copulates with the element of Water to nourish Earth. Air carries these elements in circles holding Life together. She, in the strength of her youth, is potential. Direction comes from intent, intent from the Dream within born within the moment she left Mother's Womb! These elements and this story is a shared story. The question to one and all is the same: "How do we birth who we are into existence?"

Marilyn Monroe awoke

Micky Bells is baffling in her simplicity and comfortable. Europe's standard of beauty, as seen within her, launched many changes in other people's cultures. The high and exceptional standards of beauty found around the world by European men aroused and baffled them, but failed to assuage the savageness within them! After and during the rapes these early versions of depravity destroyed many women's souls, but European conquests justified the trend, and defined their legacy.

The Women's Movement, in truth, began from the bound spirits of European women, who had never seen free women before they arrived in what became known as, the New World! When they saw the Red Nations, on the shores of the Atlantic, and how women lived European women were stunned into enlightenment! They participated in the murders of these people they would dispossess, but centuries into the conquest of land and souls, their language changed. When the white women became political activists they, at times, took on the cause of slavery temporarily, and racial equality for an even briefer time period, until it no longer had advantages. . . - Gregory E.

Sometimes one can only pause and later try remember the why of what had been seen. Some women can only be remembered, others never forgotten and others become part of a man's consciousness moving the actions of men she will never recollect... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/10/18

Birthday of Rihanna!

Rihanna, born Feb. 20, 1988, was financially worth $245 million as of 2017! 

That is quite a disturbing sentence if one delves into symbols, and has become a student of how public perception works for famous artists. Often, the first assessment of a person is how much money one made in a year, in a lifetime. Granted, she is an accomplished entertainer, and enjoys her craft, but the public allows itself to be absorbed in her life, as a wealthy woman. On the surface, nothing is wrong with admiration. The problem is a solution. 

If one is curious about a thing, learn about a thing. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Feb. 20, 2019 

IN the Depths of Human Experience.

Is it possible in the brokenness of 21st century the resurrection of divinity within the African? Could be, will it be inevitable? It is ever possible. 

It never could be a better time before, but now the dysfunction deep beneath and within the soul of Americans makes demands on common sense. A powerful African woman seated as an authority announces the presence of a husband completing sacred powers the two have responsibilities to fulfill. Birthed into the present how would crudeness and the crude way of being upon the Earth, our Mother accept the holiness of an African woman and African man, who are deep in the powers beyond the capacity of crudeness?

There is a lot asked of excellence, and a lot to fear. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 1/28/19

LINKS to Touch.

Exquisite beauty of this woman quietly sipping morning coffee.

Exquisite beauty of this woman defies and defines something we need, as men, only accessible by touching our core value. Engaging the soul of a man is by definition effortless done by certain women. An experience like this changes what is formed within a man to resist her touch. We don't recover from the encounter, we change because of the touch... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/28/18

WHEN WE AWAKEN. (2.)

"Some things are just average, other things are spellbinding!"

Dancing in a mint pirouette midi skirt from fall collection by Shabby Apple.

face of an older woman who has lived. when many awaken to old age they realize their bodies, and their faces tell stories; have told stories or is a reference for young women needing guidance. plastic surgery is fear, the mask of fear people pay for. afraid of death their angst is their denial, their denial a form of death hastening the process. fear of old age is a lack of power, and successfully keeps clarity a distance away from the substance that holds the sacred circle.

Quiet is stillness. There is movement in stillness. The Hunter is meditative in the stillness required. The perspective of those hunting is to listen to the calm in the air not altered by the fear from the hunted. These are subtle elements in the dangerous game played to remain in existence. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/22/18

exquisite beauty of this woman is sharp, highly intelligent and piercing.

Not every tool is needed in the enforcement of law. Pepper spray is not an essential tool protecting life, or restraining dark forces. Impeccability is the element and knowing subtle things about perception as power commands, and controls intent... 

There is a profound teaching knowing how to control one's spirit. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

The presence within Beauty is the soul seeing itself for what it is worth at the time. In deep moments of doubt Beauty grows into the places sorrowing for comfort in the places isolation, or indifference can place a soul, at times in one's lifetime.

"How will we die?" moments like this will ask sometimes. "How will we live after revived by Beauty?" is another question asked in stillness. On the other hand, or other side of the equation, Darth Vader's feminine side, may look like this. It is a profound thing to ponder. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/23/18 

A Study in Manhood.

Mia Malkova in tennis shoes and jean shorts defines a special. Understanding the special is fundamental to the riddle of a whore's dynamic role. The perspective of a whore has two eyes: how a man uses her, and what the healer needs to help her healing the angst of her soul. It is pondered, the theft of soul, understanding why she is important to the equation of vitality vs. elements that detract from the whole, and the need for wholeness whores express in their actions.

It may sound like a riddle; it is, but on the outside of that vernacular is understanding of the human condition that created a role for a woman to play. When in our collective history did the two-sided role the whore plays within forget men's role as a whore himself? If a whore is merely a woman's role the denial of men cannot possibly follow the rules of simple math: (x + y = z).

- Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 9/25/18

Mia Malkova soft in this purple ensemble and in this position tugs hard at the loins. In the code of deep manhood the determinative element is within the will. But, the will has to be defined. Is a man a whore, the woman a whore, and if so how does one devalue what she does not have as an estimated value to honor? - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 9/25/18

ON the surface.

A Columbus, Ohio doctor killed 27 hospital patients at Mount Carmel hospital administering lethal doses of Fentanyl to them. The allegations became public knowledge after a civil law suit was filed earlier this week. The hospital knew of this a month ago, fired the doctor, and removed 20 some employees because of these murders. The hospital apologized and said each of the patients were near death when they received the Fentanyl. This is how it was reported on ABC news early this morning.  As a corporation this should be the length of their obligations?

If a person killed 27 people would being released from his job be his outcome?... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Jan. 16, 2019)

A Grandfather Speaks What Him Know!

"Simply put 'She' rests within a core value a man will need and a woman will come forth from. Each woman comes from an answer. It is their destiny to answer the questions presented to them." - Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha, [Aug. 19, 2018] 

"Simply put 'She' rests within a core value a man will need and a woman will come forth from. Each woman faces this and sings this song to the Ancients in the memories of Creation!" - Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha, [Aug. 19, 2018]

In Praise of a Woman.

Luxurious way of Denise Michelle Alling by Erica Robertson.

Somehow this portrait of Ms. Denise Michelle Alling sings. 

In praise of a woman: her right to believe she is safe being available is as important as being safe to be the self she believes she is: as a sensuous being. It is puzzling this riddle. This contradiction appears as clearly a challenge to the core of a manhood she needs to believe exists... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/12/18 

2 point out.

Storytelling of this sort is terrifying because it ends with aging and death. Unable to see, and embrace sacred process the ability to embody spiritual powers is neglected in the process of 'raising' children, and not part of the practice of living in American culture. It began this way. Unexamined millions of tragedies feed each other to sustain the angst of life in the States. It is a strange insistence to remain in the incompleteness of an existence, but one that is very American!

The answer to this riddle is in the weave of its design.

Old woman and her cats.

"[This] Old woman in a short blue dress and an nasty feel to her style of expression is something of a force of reckoning to stand in front of by what is missed. In this absence is the feel and drive of her need for sex..." ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8/13/18 

the pussy of Lindsay should be valued, not by its moisture or feel, but by its inherent sacredness. The problem is in the word sacred and how in American psychology removing crudeness from American perception is unheard of by our social norms. Women in European/American  history are not more than 50 years into being respected by white men! That group of men are important for validation because their ideologies are centered around taking and killing! One cannot say it enough. "White men hold women in low standing, not as their equal." ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8/13/18 

AMERICAN WHITE WOMEN: unraveling the puzzle.

"Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you." ~ John Paul Sartre

Luxore exquisite in this moment defines, expresses women's appreciation for the free flow of creative reproduction in the parallel realms of essence, becoming and fulfillment in the expression of divinity and the need for touch, and the reciprocation of loving the man made for her life. It is a simple formula complicated by history and history's misdeeds vomited upon white women by European men. Women's Liberation is from the yoke of European men's pre-existing condition, his predisposition to kill his own women, who won't submit to his limited view of themselves. It was not perceived how to liberate themselves until white women landed on the east coast of what they thought of as the New World and saw how the women of those Red nations lived in matriarchal nations!. . . ~ Gregory E.

Stillness. In the garden, the air, beneath the sea. 

a concept from photographer, 

Roland Dawson. (Nov. 22, 2018)

"… 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. Hold 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
