sacredness with Gabby Quinteros

"Sacredness within Gabby Quinteros is the same forms of Creation that formed the waters that moisten in her man's presence that form into the blood mixed with the autumn of her existence as a woman leaving the years of monthly cycles.  Some women wonder aloud about this to men barely able to grasp the larger and wide concepts of blood and water, but she and others continue to blab on it sounds like to one type of man, and to another he hears the prayers going past him to the Creator of Life and Water and the mysteries that hold the questions."  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.19.13










Under extreme social pressures and oppressive social structure a lot of men and women find ways to excel, and mine through the morass set up to frustrate their paths. It is a genius the survival art submits to, and bows its head lowering its shoulders for the great unknowns to step up into living within their being. It isn't the social dilemma of oppression that solely oppresses people it is what they chose to believe, how they chose to see themselves and the world.

It is more dangerous for oppressors to stand against the souls willing to and creative and bold enough to be free than the other way around. Because fear is a tool for one and an instrument for another and bondage for another the very definition of fear is subject to changes outside of its intention. Again, it is the genius and the spark of life that is stronger than death and the artisans of death to societies.

But, today millions of Black Americans are unaware of these things, and ignorant of the spiritual science their ancestors knew and employed. When someone tries to be cute and repeats the refrain: "Trying to get over." and millions of Blacks think that is hip and justification for mean behavior an astute observer automatically knows how little they know, and how puny they've become.

There are many images assaulting our People today, and many whiners complaining the white man has his foot in our necks, but there are many images from the 20th century of men without the luxuries, opportunities, or freedoms we have today that have done far more with little or nothing than we have with our 'stuff'.

If there is to be a refrain let it be: Change. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9.19.13
