TELLING STORY of Ideals

The woman

All else pales in her presence in ways unfathomable.

the Appearance of...

April 28, 2013

This one cat saw her picture and remarked, "Goddess." 

"Hmm...A Goddess to be", I chimed in. "The status is deeper than the appearance. Appearance is a glance into the later phases of a woman's life, or a reflection back into the pools of Life we come from with the designs of our life-to-be." - Gregory 4.29.13

subtle influence. . .

Gazing upon and reacting to Candice Swanepoel in this sheer wedding lingerie one man, Aaron Armando, was altered by her appearance. What it meant to him to look at her so delicately adorned with softness was summed up in his words, "This makes me doubt my idea of marriage."  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2.8.13

larger than life...
April 27, 2013

I went to high school with a girl who dreamed like this. I thought she came from my dreams back then so my descriptions of her are hazy with the spell she cast upon me then. Karen Bailey. That was her name. After all these years she knocks on my father's door a day after Mommy's funeral (4.13.13) to give us condolences. I didn't recognize her at first. It was her voice and eyes that gave her away.

She was a woman. Old enough to be a grandmother she had a 12 year old daughter which shocked me. We talked quite a while in the living room about ideas which, she reminded me, was what we talked a lot about in high school. So under her spell then I'd forgotten those talks.

Well, I'd married well, and she was a mother taking care of her own mother, and the good feeling between us was still present; older, but present. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4.29.13

“The architectural construct of black exoticness."

from collection of photos byRa Intwy Damaleya

Ra Intwy Damaleya made an astute observation. Was she saying, or implying a Black woman’s body, her behind, her hips, and Womb in its fullness, and readiness is an architectural construct?

Studying the full body of this model from behind with a steady gaze into the arithmetic, and the geometry of form there is motion, the stillness within motion, the relationships between colors, hue, tone, and the way; just beyond touch her dark skin and African body dances without moving, moves, and shapes itself from an inaccessible place accessible to a chosen hand into Sacred Form... © Gregory E.

So moved I cannot speak the words to the emotion that jolted through making me aware of who she is within me. Hers is a collective beauty each feels they are a part of, but not fully, nor completely within her awareness of place, and who she may very well be. This African woman's beauty steadies the mind to absorb greater things in Life we need to live deeply and closer to completeness. All this within her I heard, and felt touching me inside. © Gregory E. Woods 11.1.12

SACRED ART recreating

LILITH

The stories living here start, as all stories do, with creation stories. Lilith started many stories to stay alive within women, and their men who needed to balance their new found pride in the relationships without the core, the central themes of life balanced with the Womb's perspective. Those were hard times, but nonetheless; Life had to live in the next generations of children. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.2.12

FOR SALE: sold

The mutated horny pig love him some sexy black slaves. Research the mutant Frank Buchser... how he love to put our slave women standing in front of a picturesque, so he can get his jollies off. They say "the women are unaware of their own attractiveness. The self-confident way in which they present their naked bodies increases their charm and gives them a hint of invulnerability."


The pic was taken in 1880, located at the Art Museum, Solothurn

(The Arabic letters on the wall behind the slaves mean "to be sold".) - Ra Intwy Damaleya
