Discoveries




Black and White Photography of Beauty and Solitude


Simple joy, a quiet moment of reflection, a thought for a day of the light shone through her as essence and kindness drawing her husband closer..." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories


You can't smile upon what does not please you, nor scorn what brings you a pleasant state of mind. You can enjoy the contrast of belief into the holy spectrum of speculating about the body of and the beauty of the body of a woman smiling at you about what she enjoys. This is not a play on words, but play. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/19/16



Cigar. a black & white study of.


 The sophistication of cigars and women are linked to smoothness, elegance, reflection and the coming together of all energies. Judging these qualities suggests the critic's distance from them.

"The beauty of flight from and towards this composition of color, and flowers; the flow of poetry within the eyes, and the deep security of being a woman play with the responsibilities of being a man, and the urge to not live up to those responsibilities." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Dawn Wolf) [12/20/16]

What We Know We Hold.


Daniela Hantuchová
Kim Cattrall at 56.


the Silent embrace holds us together. It did as children. It did through troubled waters and it held us against standards beyond our immediate perception and understand of self at the time. Who we are depends on who we are. How we are depends on where we are in relationship to meanings in Life we hold dear, or misunderstand from the distance between wanting to know and fearing to know.

Growth is the norm. Stagnation for the conformed. Make a choice or one will be made for you may not like.

WHAT BOYS DON'T KNOW



August 17, 2015 
"Delicate beauty expresses a relationship with strength & forces within light that highlights the principle element of femininity that is special to the men who love women like Jennifer Nguyen!" ~ Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories



"Delicate beauty expresses a relationship with strength and forces within light that highlights the principle element of femininity that is special to the men who love women like Jennifer Nguyen!"

It is an old story, but it needs to be retold to young men who know little or nothing about the subtleness of touch, or being touched by knowing, by listening and caring about the soul of things, how to hold sacred the primary elements and women's life forces.
Being a man is a delicate art, but it needs to be taught by a man who knows these things, and knows himself through his wife, and other women important in his life, how forces should work in the lives of the young men to become fathers, lovers, husbands and providers. These young are trying to live unnatural lives without wise Eldership around them, and without the Ancestors. There is no wisdom in it, but it is taught out of them in schools, by religion and our social construct and boy do we suffer from the ramifications!"

It needs to be said again. . .





Debra Gibson, composer & singer Nov. 19, 2012


"The classical soft distinction between exquisite and elegance never asks to be argued about. The two characteristics need only be held gently in awe as if the sunrise of morning is as important as the sunset in the evening." - Gregory E. Woods, (Dawn Wolf) Keeper of Stories November 29, 2012 at 8:36am




Debra Gibson by Brian Kowald Photography
 
It needs to be said again, "Light changes the dark. Darkness shies from light and enlightenment expands the universe similar to the way choice changes life forces. The truth pushes lies into the dark and shadows we all have can become foes or allies. Death can become an ally. Ideals can be simplified by living the words, and truth can be embodied by anyone seeking their truths. Our authentic selves sought the way a child reaches against all odds for an unreachable toy on a table is the deepest commitment.  

It needs to be said again, "The power of Life and Death is in the tongue. It is not what goes into a man that defiles him, it is what comes out that defiles the man!"

When women like, Celeste Morgan, say, "There is an unnatural force feeding on fear and hate." we are in the times to reflect and not think like men of war, but feel what Women of the Womb have to say about Life and Death and the continuation of Life upon the Earth, our Mother. ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories November 13, 2015

Devotion to ART as theory

naked serenity of Jolee Blon' by Joe Hill (2012)



"Art of the naked body beyond lust into understanding the scope and depth of what it meant to create in the likeness of God is without peer in the mere observation of a woman's body. It is not the chance of a longing look at a naked woman reclining that evokes reverence. A man comes to a woman with reverence. That is the mere difference between brute and a Sacred Man." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.29.15

FROM PYLMOUTH ROCK to STANDING ROCK: an observation.



If the focus went off the NDN's and focused on the path of the water and how the oil spills to come will affect white communities the outrage of the country will boil. Nothing in this country is a crisis until white people fall victim to something! A crisis in Indian Country, in the Black community, or the farming crisis of Brown and Black farmers are not thrust into the scrutiny of the American population until it creeps in white consciousness by some social force that the major news outlets can sniff out a profit-in-motion.  

That is the way it is here. Indian lives are still under the estimation of value from the Pilgrims' time of bloodletting and taking away from us. Indian people are a conquered people and treated thus until white folk submit to transformation.

Elena IN Jeans

"This is more of a tribute to form and the beauty of the passion the Creator employeed fashioning women from Earth, our Mother. The blue jeans, the white light, the pink heels and the small touch of blue nails make up an individual story about one woman, Elena."

musings held close to craft



Charlize Theron said, 'We all understand situations where it's swim or drown. Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we start swimming and see how well we can do it!'

            
.

Christina Ricci in black outfit contrasts her pale skin. It is sexy. What is more appealing is what she says and thinks. For example she once said, "I'm very shy. I can't even act that well when the camera's not on. I get really embarrassed." She pointed out, "I don't have any training, and I don't believe in training. Of course, people who don't have any training always say that."

From people who are OK in their craft, or mediocre such declarations are held in contempt by accomplished people. But, for those who are autodidactic learning is their teacher. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.6.15

Understanding the demon




Perfect body of an older woman in a tiny bikini is a wonderful sight to behold, but I think it is important to understand the damaged souls who prey upon beauty as a concept intellectually, and women physically for their bodies with thinly disguised hate for that form and what is the result of so damaging an assessment of women. What it is is rape. It tears the soul with a power capable of travel through generations repeating itself in families.

As a man what is your responsibility in all this mess?

After Life



Today is my parent's wedding anniversary, or it would be. They are dead. They are active and alive within me and their descendants. Even today people who knew them hear the resonance of my parent's voices, their spirits, and their meaning(s) within their bodies.

It is remarkable the way we die, and even more remarkable why we die. It is complex this attitude I have centered around my parent's cords attached to my core. It is one of the unspoken mysteries because you cannot speak about these complexities. They have to live within to be heard, and understood through wisdom. One has to care to hear these forces at work playing with our existence.

Without that play are we alive? ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/3/16



Lioness by Kavion Robinson 
August 18


Many do not know the animal spirit of their other body. Even the concept, the notion of such a thing is abhorrent to their subjugated belief systems. It is too bad. Bondage is deception of one's spirit, blindness to the eye, and a sealant within the ear. If one were to rid themselves of the illusion of not being capable of holding power what animal would their eyes see within themselves?

If or when it happens depends on how deep one wants to live his or her life! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/1/16

the ENEMY of USA is SELF

Caroline Dyer-Smith Photography


patriotism worn by Kim Kardashian says, Go America !!!!
Instagram/Kim Kardashian


The profound pride the average American seems to have knowing as little as possible about the myriad of things citizen's of a global power should know in depth isn't enough to engineer pride in mature citizens throughout the world where Americans know little about. Fear induced pseudo intellectuals are running rampant across the social spectrum with their heads tucked under their arms and what is pitiful and has long been disgusting in the American psyche is stirring citizens into frenzy around the cauldron of the blackest of sorcerers.   
 
My depth of understanding Islam and adherents to the faith comes from living in an Arab country in my formative years and the deep study of the 'blood religions' (Christianity, Islam, and Judaism) I undertook over the years. Study is a prerequisite to being a follower of a religion. The fundamentals of the blood religions are from one source and the pride Americans enjoy being ignorant is the fault any enemy can and has played with with ever growing success. Like all bullies there is a blind spot they cannot perceive, and cannot look through because introspection is not considered valuable.

For any enemy of the United States this flaw has always been the basis of offensives in the wars against us and what we have done to others the world over. Because the fundamentalists of the U.S. government, the Christian church, and the core of American perception: white supremacy cannot 'see' themselves that blind spot is the weapon 'terrorists' use against our place in the world. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories




flag - International Indigenous Unity flag held by Natives (2016)



A holy woman who has made the pilgrimage to Mecca is as important as a Beloved Woman of the Cherokee People. But, as history has shown do not respect or listen to the voices of mothers and grandmothers. As President Bush administration drove home during his tenure after the towers fell the government would not listen to the voice of grieving mothers whose sons died in war and base decisions. In the early days of this country's formation the white men who studied the Great Law of the Iroquois Confederacy could not swallow the power women had to select their chief, and to declare war. Benjamin Franklin and the other intellectual giants and visionaries of the Colonial period were cut from the cloth they came from and women had no place or influence in government, or finance or any other major area in life.

This historical flaw is a fact. This long standing philosophy leaves Americans unable to understand why and how Muslim women can strap on bombs and blow up people! But, a people whose men used to cut Indian women's vaginas off their bodies to dress the horns of their saddles have trouble fathoming female suicide bombers. Why is that?

As we know, Islam, as in every day for the last 15yrs. is dominating the headlines. Some of us are and will be approached to explain the entire Middle Eastern narrative and apologize for "Islam" as expressed by the media and other either uninformed sources.

I say to my family, friends, colleagues and associates, you should want to know the intel on Islam but you should want to make the effort to seek an understanding. It will not be a 30 second sound bite because it is an entirely different paradigm than you've been spoon fed, complicated by political agendas that don't run parallel to the Faith or Humane universal principles. You must also know the history of your government's foreign policy and its foundational principles as a World Power. That's a lot.

In the meantime, if you have a relationship with a Muslim look at their example, think about the 1.6-2 billion Muslims in the world. If we moved as one big monolithic thingy and we were coming for you...You know how this would end...

Just Sayin'... Find your Common Sense, if you don't have the time to intellectually process the current events.


Note: Muslim Countries and Muslim Majority countries and Black People all around the GLOBE currently control all the resources that make America Great. You do the Math.  Hajja Ayisha Jeffries Cisse

What Girls Need To Know !!




elegant mysterious presence of a British woman !!!!
May 11, 2015
 
 
 "There is an ageless quality to elegance that does not stand by itself, nor feel regret holding a standard not subjugated to the fears of aging. If a woman decides to show herself unwilling to be a consumer of an outside concept of aging she doesn't take a risk. Being part of a natural process is an honoring spirit guided by forces embracing the 'who' of our essence and the source of our creativity in the inevitable process of aging and maturing is the substance of Knowing! . . ."


Keeper of Stories



Tyra Banks said her one regret is that sometimes in her past,
her drive to succeed has been so strong,
she hasn't been so obsessed with her personal life.

Black Americans looking at African Women


Traditional woman from somewhere in Africa.

"Black Americans are fond of declaring any picture of an African woman in traditional garb are queens or a princess. How do you know she is a princess? Is princess a role within her culture? What tribe does she hail from? Africa is so large and complex. There are hundreds of languages and cultures and the nations have traditions and customs too many to sweep away with vague tributes. . .

But when it is an African woman fresh in the United States it is a different reaction. Black Americans are quick to distance themselves from Africans with disgust. The two seldom interact in daily life." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Dawn Wolf) 11/19/15

"Why do African or Black American women have to be labeled a queen, a warrior or a combination of the two ideals? Is it a longing, a gap in the spaces between who one is and who one's ancestors used to be? Is there a chasm in the sense of self that needs exaltation, or is it a boast against the boast of white people's sense of being superior, or is it all of the above assembled into one declaration?"

a Recollection


Haitian woman by Robert Marsan



Haitians were invisible to Black business back then in the 1970's. They were slowly coming into prominance. By the 1980's Haitians were front and center for two reasons: immigration and the drug gangs. During the 1980's, at least in the nation's capital, Haitian music gained prominance through Pacifica Radio. Radio stations on Howard University and University of the District of Columbia campuses, and radio station WPFW (www.wpfw.org) overshadowed the city's crime reports with Haitian culture. The cultural festivals brought their foods and their fine women front and center.

It took time for Black Americans to make the profound connections between Haiti, African freedom fights, and the importance of knowing why the African Diaspora is not centered around Black America! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.4.15

What a crude man can't know!



older woman grabbing crotch at wedding reception.

Something whimsical happens when women get older. It is shocking at times and a real turn on other times. Their sexual energies expand and the things they can do in bed require prior knowledge of things a pimp mentality could never grasp. Pimps only deal with whores, and stand at the gates of maturity and evolving women looking stupidly upward into what they don't understand the way Adam and Eve stood before the Garden of Eden pitifully staring with longing over the shoulders of the angels who guarded it after their expulsion. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12.3.15

older women, like Charlee Chase, easily dwarf younger women with their beauty & appeal. Their bodies carried babies, carry seed with deep knowledge that affirms their man's essence beyond ejaculation into developmental stages of maturity. A mature man can stand this. He understands, but younger men more often than not understandably do not! Which leads to the question: why do the young men who do understand this understand this essential?

ELDER TALK: teach the strength.




PART 71
Deeper teachings of the Warrior


“At the deeper levels of warriorship relationships are developed within the warrior's spirit between the ability to restore life, the ability to kill, the skill of listening and the ability and power to make covenant with one's death, another person, or the Creator.
...
 
Within the man is the responsibility to restore and maintain the energy of the sacred trust between his women (daughters, mother, sisters, grandmothers, and elders), his children (his and others), and the Earth, our Mother. The Priest-Warrior’s prerequisite is his relationship with his own Death. The Woman Warrior must care for the Womb she carries. It is the life-force superior to the guns, the arrows, knives, and fighting styles learned in dojos. She carries Life, and every Man of Power knows the divine word that draws them back to the Womb connects them to the source of Life within her Womb.
 


These Medicine Wheel teachings are fundamental to these Warrior Songs I am sharing…”

Memorials: black blood, red land



Lincoln Memorial & the Washington Monument by Kimberly Suiters, ABC news reporter (Sept. 1, 2014)


That is the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument on the right. Now that running trail I believe is on the Virginia side of the Potomac River. African slaves built these buildings, these tributes to achievement.
The land was once the ancestral home of the Anacostia, the Piscataway nation and a few other tribes. Of the tribes in Washington DC proper the Anacostia were wiped off the face of the Earth, our Mother by the whites. The Piscataway are small, but presently living in the area. There are six nations in Virginia. The other Indians, myself included, hail from other parts of Turtle Island. - Gregory E. Woods (Dawn Wolf) Muskogee, African & Absaroka (11/23/15)
