MOTHER SONG
“One can take flight over the obvious beauty of this moment, this child, this mother, and continue to fly around within the wonder and beauty of those feelings conjured up by a mother’s deep contemplative love. One can be transported into the poetic realms of intangible elements capable of composing themselves outside the peripheral of practical things obvious in the relationship between a mother and her young daughter. Or one can merely let the captured moment stand on its own, and not attempt to define it. Any and other approaches to this image touch the depth of mother’s responsibility, and care and love. Anyone looking at this picture of you and your daughter is remembering their own intimate moments with their mother, or if they are a mother what it means to be a mother.
As a father the touch, feel, and scent of my mother’s breath upon my little head while I breast fed is an active part of my memory, and personal style of parenting.” – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

the WOMB story seen within...
Kay Melanie Classy's goddess form of beauty & contact with the world & its mystical realms awoke something alive deep within me. Her Goddess form of beauty & contact with the world & its mystical realms is more than intriguing; it is light, it is lightening and the thundering of nations within her womb powers, and upon the bosom of the African center of being a woman, the woman's sense of being of and from the Goddess is vibrant. It is the tangible quality of being powerful, and a mother upon the Earth, our Mother.
Seeing you and knowing deep magic lives where great questions arise from intelligence and intelligent play the somber associations with the elements of divinity fresh from the quality of being alive seem to either insist on coming through you, or they like being around you.” – Gregory E.

SACRED WHORE SACRED WOMAN
This month I am going to venture into dangerous waters: the Sacred Whore. It will be subtle. It will be obvious, but it needs to have some airing out. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
BLACKFOOT CREATION STORY
Making of the Earth - Blackfoot
During the flood, Old Man was sitting on the highest mountain with all the beasts. The flood was caused by the Above People because the baby (a fungus) of the woman who married a star was heedlessly torn in pieces by an Indian child.
Old Man sent the Otter down to get some Earth. For a long time he waited, then the Otter came up dead. Old Man examined its feet, but found nothing on them. Next he sent Beaver down, but after a long time he also came up drowned. Again nothing was found on his feet. He sent Muskrat to dive next. Muskrat also was drowned.
At length he sent the Duck. It was drowned, but in its paw held some earth. Old Man saw it, put it in his hand, feigned putting it on the water three times, and at last dropped it. Then the Above People sent rain, and everything grew on the earth.
