Lauren Bacall, she was...

Lauren Bacall. Her beauty grabbed something embedded in the loins that expelled whatever was unnecessary to fathom the depths she came from and drew upon in her life. This is a Photo by Jack Mitchell on Getty Images.

Lauren Bacall splendid in her way of pulling on the loins, the imagination...

Lauren Bacall died at the age of 89 on August 12, 2014 without us ever meeting. Her being born September 16, 1924 perhaps has something to do with that disappointment. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/6/18

Heck of a Story.

The story of elegance and grace captured by photographer, Matt Baker is a clear merge into the mystery embedded within the intangible framework of mystique. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2/27/19 

OF Susan.

Susan Sarandon without make up is as beautiful and appealing as her intellectual momentum creates shifts in thought processes. Engaging women like her overwhelm simplicity easily... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/13/18

Susan Sarandon full in her powerful way of being a woman

attending the 70th Cannes Film Festival!

Supreme something in Susan Sarandon's beauty, is an essence inaccessible to physical touch, and inadmissible as fodder for the lower elements of men, who hunt for these qualities for consumption. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

Willow Skye (softly intelligent beauty) by Jack Woolley Jr. with a Nikon D850 50mm

" … a compelling intelligence within your beauty. Even further, in the eyes, is an intensity that makes sense in relationship to everything else softly elegant!... It is hard to put into words the intangible!" ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [10/31/18]

Somewhere between worlds, and perceptions of stillness and being stilled you caught something easy to trust... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

Dreams-Book - Frederic VIRE

Vulnerable. Sasha Derik by Frederic Vire. [October 2018] 

— at Dreams - Studio.

Vulnerability, gentleness, soft persuasion and quiet within stillness are integral to the feminine element. History records Europe's deep and long standing contempt for these attributes and white women, the source of what was and has the power to balance male energies! It is a dark history too entrenched in American thought life...

This photograph suggests a strength often overlooked in the political processes. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/01/18 

AGE in Qualities of...

Yasmina Rossi in an arresting moment tender to the thought of getting old, and being fine!... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [July 4, 2018] 

"Helen Mirren humbles the silence of being better, and arouses the loins, the sense of manhood a man may need challenging. Being an ideal of a woman is the imperfection of perception and exalts the depth of her perceptions she put into the world from hers..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 7/4/18 

Fluid in Stone

Sharon Stone in the face of aging sees clarity for what is clearly before her deep set gaze into where she is later in Life!... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 5/22/18

Snow on a bed of white linen.

There is a Gap here!

Exquisite is a woman, like this, out of reach of the profane, the vulgar and the crude; yet whose presence defines the essence of femininity and denies access to the crude. If this is all illusion who was fooled? - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 8/18/18

Joy to Aspirations

Little Red Bunny.

“Let’s be honest: there’s only one activity more satisfying than drinking good wine with good food; and if you’re drinking wine in the right company, the one pleasure, more often than not, will lead to the other.” #NationalDrinkWineDay - says Little Red Bunny (2018)

(Lisa's Lust List) in May of 2016.

"Love the way age is showing up deepening the experience of living in your face, in your eyes. It is compelling the way age develops the character and structure of maturity in a beautiful face. It is a subject to explore, not from fear, but with wonder!..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/24/18

What is Said without Words.

Michelle Forbes played a formidable role in the series True Blood that made my blood coil, and imagination move!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

Mila Kunis must be her own mystique. How we understand this is from a merit system we own, or don't have as men in our concept of our manhood! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6/26/18

Hilda by Duane Bryers was a popular pin up in the mid-50's until the 1980's and most of us don't remember, or like me, didn't know! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

"There are many times in life one has to sit still and know there is God, and there is Beauty. Where the two meet is not any kind of an intelligent question. One comes from the other." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Nov. 03, 2016

a Whole perspective.

Lady Riri's toned muscles

"Being toned in one's youth is measured in retrospect by the surprises of the middle years, and the astonishment of being old. What gets the attention in one's youth is different in each stage of life because life demands change and change demands life to unfold." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Nov. 9, 2016

Feel Free



Juno Brown free as a bird. (2013 August)

Just as much, and perhaps more difficulty goes into learning balance in an asana as is difficulty to master one's spirit and gain freedom from within. How these two concepts work corresponds with whether and if a person knows themselves, or wants to know!

Another way to say this is: "Just as much, and perhaps more goes into learning to balance in an asana as it is to be free from within."

Balance and mastery are relatives. Freedom comes from somewhere bondage begins. Freedom is not only a goal it is a study of why one is bound in either body or mind, spirit or emotion. Perhaps all those elements are in place to be enslaved, but being free of a master we can see, and what is within us recalls the lack of a balanced scope to view one's truth courageously? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.16.16
