BLACK BEAUTY BLACK WOMANHOOD

Bria Myles

"The black beauty of Bria Myles evokes in the thinking of a man, now an elder, who has not lived as a whore a vision of the possible journey Bria Myles would take to become a woman deeply invested in the culture of her being, the sanctity of her womanhood, and the divine history of her people."

a SACRED STORY: trickster

Insignificant Goals


"Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.".......(Song of Solomon 2:15 (NKJV).

Some years ago a headline told of three hundred whales that suddenly died. The whales were pursuing sardines and found themselves marooned in a bay. The small fish lured the sea giants to their death. They came to their violent demise by chasing small ends, by prostituting vast powers for insignificant goals.

How often in life "little things" can seem so insignificant. For instance, the kid who smokes his first cigarette probably reasons with himself, "One smoke will not hurt," never dreaming he would get addicted to nicotine. The same is true of the alcoholic and the drug addict. One drink will never hurt, or one drug will never hurt, never dreaming that they would end up as hopeless addicts.

Then there are those of us who pride ourselves that we are not addicted to any substance, but allow our lives to be consumed by so many little things that are harmless in and of themselves but take us away from God's purpose for our life.

All too often even good things become the enemy of the best in that they hinder or stop our becoming all that God has envisioned for us.

May we so live that in the end when we meet God face to face we will have no regrets but hear his welcoming words, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of your Lord." How we live today will determine what that outcome will be.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please give me the good sense to know that my life here is just a journey and a preparation for eternity. Help me to know what your purpose for my life is and so live that I will have no regrets when I am called home, but will hear your words, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen." by Jenny Matin

SACRED WHORE SERIES: daring

Biography

the SACRED WHORE

I was deeply moved by a scene in a movie Vera Farmiga played a gangster's wife finding and taking a boy out of the home of a couple who used and murdered children they randomly picked. The couple was typically white, educated and well off financially. They were so normal, typical and white and seeped in their affluence. It was terrifying, to me, how they like so many killers merge into the culture of their environments. The character Vera Farmiga portrayed had to sort and plunge through the belief sets of her economic class to pay attention to details out of place in the couple’s home to rescue the boy she was searching for. She put herself in danger riding through a range of emotions to emerge as a danger to the couple. Every time I watch this scene tears well up from deep within me as I gauge the emotions and Bear energies within me that have done similar things, and ask fundamental questions of Life in the context of saving Life.


There are many women who 'whore' themselves to provide for their children. They appear to the public in different guises. One professional prostitute I met in a gym was a dark brown jewel. In the gym her thighs and rear end leveled all the men in the gym to the floor level. It was a beautiful thing to watch but there was something more. My intent to discern and fathom that ‘something’ must have been etched in my brow because she singled me out for conversation. I never saw her again but I remember she had a son in a private Christian school, and neither her son, nor the school was aware she was a prostitute. She was educated, in school, drove a nice car, and lived in Prince Georges county Maryland, one of the wealthiest counties in the US. We had a soul talk about her role as a mother, and the balancing act she performed daily.


So, I asked myself then as now; “What is a whore if she is a mother? If she is intelligent, godly, caring, educated and streetwise does her Christian walk place her in another light? Does her Christian walk and sensitive relationship with her God evoke the Lilith code of being within an Eve sense of being a woman?” I don’t know of course, but I ask these questions of my Medicine, the Creator, and any woman reading this text. I have excluded men from this conversation because of the typical narrowness of most men’s perception towards the Punany. Is that wrong on my part? – Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories





CHIEF SEATTLE

One of the great Chiefs here in the Northwest was Chief Seattle. He was leader of both the Suquamish and Duwamish Tribes. He arose to his leadership as a result of being distingusihed for his action and skills. He wanted both culture to exised together. Chief Seatlle died June 7 1866 on the Suquamish Res. at Port Madison in Kitsap County, WA. The Suquamish tribe honors Chief Seattle each third week of Aug. It is a great time. If anyone gets the chance to be there you will not be disappointed. The Only Chief to lead two Tribes-here in the Northwest
