Life Accomplishment: excellence.
Morning meditation:
Pray in every situation. Know your worth. Don’t let the past harm your future. Stop comparing yourself to others. Trust your inner voice. Everything doesn’t need to be said. Love and forgive yourself first. Life is short. Strive to achieve your goals. Know your limits. Inspire. Believe. Words are powerful. Speak wisely.

"The maturation of spirit, the development of mind and talent, and how beauty matures in playful ways has always been a source of wonder for those who appreciate how such things work in their own lives!
This is what I see looking at this photograph!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/1217

"There are deep moments in life people have forgotten because of the hurry to leave childhood forgetting the sensations of being a baby. It is too bad because enough of those days come back being naked outdoors sitting, standing, running or hiding from view.
Honest is being exposed or is it vulnerable?" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Dawn Wolf) 10.17.16

IN the depths: accountability.
Masks are so fashionable more often than not people await the nearness of their deaths to unmask themselves. Is that too late?
Asked that question millions of Christians believe it is not, as well as believe a sinner can sin his/her entire life and give their life to Jesus at the end, or near their death and obtain eternal life! Is that fair, true, or an irreconcilable difference between being authentic or disingenuous getting by without discipline of soul, of mind and spirit?
One of the wisest insights into human development came from the mother of King Solomon. She advised her son in many ways that influence the warrior, and chisel impeccability.
She said, "A man that cannot control his spirit is like a city without walls!"
If those words are guardians of higher truths why delve into truths if lies can sustain us?

Strong Things to Say!

There within Arazel N. Thalez, the activist for changing self and circumstances in a volatile time period of history is a lady developing for the latter years of her life when being a lady will be sought after.

Strength doesn't mean conforming. Embodying the intelligent design of who we are as a soul and a spirit is the example of powers in one place with many voices. "Where do I find my voice?" is a question asked and often answered watching others who have their voice. "What is it like to have a voice?" a child may ask just before his, or her birth memory fades out of fears visited upon him or her! It is good to have your voice, but can you tell the story with your life? Will others benefit? Will it service the changes others are going through, and why should that matter? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [Feb. 10, 2017]

Inner Exchange.
 |
| ArazelArt in reflection in Berkeley. 2016 |
Reflection, introspection sits in the West facing East, where illumination rises with the sun of a new day. We meet in the center space of our being with another whose life force engages ours, and afterwards go to reflect about what we feel, and feel what was stimulated into thought processes essential to growing and being better than before we met. This is a way of being on the Right Path!

A Call to Evolve.
 |
| For Trayvon Martin, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, and Michael Brown by Titus Kaphar |
"A powerful and impossible way of describing a condition of the soul, a challenge of perception, and the confusion of imaging one's self in the historical context of another's personal history.
How weak are Black people ignorant of the 'why of their existence,' forever seeking approval from whites. Forever measuring their lives against the background of white Americans lowers the value of Black lives, as well as emboldens the purpose of killers enjoying the blood sport their ancestors created and profited from the whole of our collective yesterdays until now!

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
|
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

Black Art sells the idea. . .
A thinking person could write a few essays from this one work of art. The artist, Anthony M. Piper, knows the soul of young Black men, the times we live in, come from and may be heading towards.
Well perceived. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
