This reminds me of my idyllic childhood, and where I spent and enjoyed being a Boy Scout, at Alligator Lake somewhere in the Philippines Most have probably never seen the clarity of clear blue green water, swam in it, or drank from it. It is an elixir, the feeling of it. It means so much to the body to feel the presence of eternal forces internally through drink, or the sensations of food, or love complimenting what is important, intangible and wonderful about who you are as a person. That is the elixir water brings to us. Its timelessness is a quality as valuable as a drink of water, the touch of a smile, the look of a touch, and the warmth of a feeling heart listening to what you don't or can't say aloud. These are the elements of love we can ask for, hope in, and expect to come to us. It is what we came for! Don't you remember? We all deserve to be loved! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.19.13 |
Until all the bodies of a man know each other and learn to embrace the essence of the woman before him he will not begin to understand the scope or the depth of the breath it takes to unravel the mysterious forces a woman holds that liberates, and gives design and definition to the fires burning within the genius of manhood. ~ Gregory E. Woods, 5/19/13
The bodies of Black women traditionally revered, and acknowledged as uniquely African here and abroad in the Black of the African continent have long been perceived as the approximation of truth to powers unearthed by longing revealed by seeing the stories of Creatresses, and understanding what is behind the ideals of African womanhood. Boys alive with aspirations to evolve into one of the forms of mature manhood that attracts the most beautiful and powerful of women to who they are is as old as time, need, and the first rituals performed in ceremonies. No boy has these words, but every boy's spirit knows these things about themselves. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.19.13 |

"How you see her is how she is to you. What you don't know about yourself is what is misunderstood, or understood by her about you, and how you treat her with your eyes, what is implied in the movement of your touch upon her, and the science of how you protect her, first, with your spirit tells her stories she needs to hear.
These are some of the things a boy needs to learn from his father and the Elders who understand and know these things." ~ Gregory E. Woods 5.19.13
