The Feel of this Essence.

Definitions. 

Beauty within the soul leaves admirers mute in her presence, as if holiness is a physical presence to connect fragments one with the other. Timeless quality is just that: timeless. Spiritual beauty is not simple; it is expressed as light in the eyes mirroring the weight of spiritual responsibility or spiritual powers. The substance of a spirit is in essence a series of stories developed intentionally to build, or destroy Life. For a man, if a woman's sex appeal is strong enough it will subdue the tendency to ask the right questions over the impulse to fuck, the need to copulate and the desire to have a way with a woman. The sex drive is in alignment with the impulse to be right in the spiritual realms. It is all in our breath where our words transform from the substance of weight in our thoughts into the audible words our ears transposed into the language of soul. These are fun things to be alone with pondering the powers of who we be! Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories Sept. 7, 2018

BLACK WE LOVE.

Dark compelling beauty of Bennie Rose by Roseograph

We talk about the glory of Africanism, in the States, without having ever set a foot upon the Mother Land. It is a perspective, this stance, without the authority that comes from the feeling that courses through and from Ancestor to descendent, when an African child has set their foot upon the Land of the Blacks!

That said the feel of West African culture comes through your work with joy and seriousness. These tributes of yours return the indescribable feel of being (for a flash) in the north, and the west of Africa, to me. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

Pierre Granger. "There are many subjects to study and of them is the subject of Beauty and Femininity... The Art of Femininity is special in cultures far removed from Europe, known for its distain of the feminine... In your work is a revitalization of this principle, which is not part of the vernacular even today..." -Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/4/18

HUSH!

Asleep by Rolf Ohst.

breasts of Christina Aguilera by danny

gingerly captured.

The way a hush can capture a feel inspired by the sight of a woman unclothed by a photographer is a capture. The way it feels is similar to the way one is stilled by the silence of awe. Anyway you look at the body you look at power on either side of the line between perceptions. The breast viewed with reverence, or with lust creates its own perceptions of divinity. Lost to lust is the perception of what is divine, and gained by desire is the beauty of understanding the breasts as nurturer, and a place for a man to recharge who he is to the 'She' of our existence!... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6/7/18

face of Shyna Chung by Roland Dawson. 2017

Her face peers into changes. Don't know if perception is changed by the eyes I have, or the perception of form I can play with, or her face has the mysterious capacity to shift its beauty and its focus at will this way, or that! As a child, I found few faces, like Shyna Chung's, fashioned by shifting powers with their own design to command alteration of perception, the perception of beauty, and the penetrating capacity to be seen other ways by a shift in direction!

It was hard to explain as a child, and no easier grown up! But, power of compelling faces is none lessen by any disability to describe what I think I see, say I perceive, and want to see. Again, Mr. Dawson I love the subtly of your work! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/21/17

RIDDLE: challenge to Manhood

Dark fine and wild!

Gentle touch carefully placed.

This Black woman defies something you may need, and defines something intelligent outside the elements of lust. What evolves from lust, as natural as can be, is a want to know more about what was entered in relationship to who a man is unto himself...

There is more to this, of course, but punany has laws... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 8/18/18

Thick and seemingly inaccessible, Yves Nunez creates that vibe without effort. It is what she exudes that leans one toward understanding why her essence is intimidating to the weaker components of some men's esteem. There is a lot of power in that weakness. Women can use it to their advantage and awaken men into themselves with a suggestion, a hint, a nudge or a look in the eye. Men's disadvantage is ignorance of their weakness and the lack of strength to release the substance of who they are meant to be into the swirling powers of Creation. This awakening is a trick women learn from the Mothers to weave into men through direct penetration, and the nuance within sexual intercourse!  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [8/18/18]

Own your voice - Frank Morrison Art

"Own your voice." The original intention of God was to have just that for us. Unaware of it, or afraid of it, or taught out of it one person after another lives part of their lives, then they die. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/18/17 

model Takea Lanae by Brian Jude

Good taste is a premium in the art of photographing Black women. Forsaking the temptation, the inclination to debase them photographers like Brian Jude and Roland Dawson strive to remain joyous and serious in the their endeavor to portray their people's women in the light of who they are and address the 'why' of their existence creatively. I appreciate their art. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/18/17

Black FACE!

Amara La Negra Shuts Down Trolls Saying She’s In Blackface

"Amara La Negra is both black and Latina, a concept many online trolls can’t quite seem to grasp.

The Miami-born Dominican singer first addressed social media comments that she is donning blackface during a live interview with The Shade Room...

But it seems the issue didn’t end there. On Thursday, the singer once again addressed accusations that she wears blackface by posting an adorable throwback video of herself participating in a beauty pageant when she was a child.

“Well Yea I guess I was Born in a ‘Black Face Body!,’” Amara wrote in the Instagram caption for the video. “Its funny that I even have to go through this and show you baby pictures or videos to prove to blogs and people on social media that my skin color is not airbrushed or spray tanned nor do I take melanin shots to be black!”' 

Amara La Negra is a Miami-born Dominican singer.

"Being an Afro-Latina in the Latin market is particularly difficult, because you essentially have to work twice as hard to prove yourself. As much as people want to say that racism is over and it doesn’t exist, it does, especially in the Latin market. When they talk about a Latina, they talk about Sofia Vergara or Jennifer Lopez, Shakira even. But not anyone who looks like me, and I’m 100 percent Latina.

I’ve been in novelas, but the roles that are carved out for us are more often than not stereotypical. You’re a slave, a drug addict, a gangster, or a murderer — those kind of roles. It’s tough to land a serious role. And anytime I say stuff like this, people are in shock. Like they can’t believe I just said racism is alive or something. Listen, I can only speak from my own personal experience.

One of the reasons I’m so rebellious and I wear my hair from my head attached to my body, is because for many years I was told this bullshit lie that in order to be beautiful, I had to have straight hair, because my hair was too “unmanageable.” Hello! I’m black. Yes, I’m going to have nappy and kinky hair. But that’s part of what makes me beautiful. And it took me years to know and realize that. I’m straightening and burning my hair for what? To please who? I was doing it to try and fit into society." ~ Amara La Negra

"The melanin's power is enviable from the perspective of those born without it, whose pineal glands are calcified at birth! Those full in their understanding of this power are capable of the extraordinary. How do you think the processes came to the Egyptian people in the long ago that formed their architecture, sciences, healing modalities and so on?" - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 12/4/17
