She Lived 90 years!

Old Woman, Long Life: How? 

Claire Trevor was an American actress. She appeared in over 60 films, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Key Largo, and earning nominations for her roles in The High and the Mighty and Dead End. She also received top billing in Stagecoach. She had 3 husbands and one son. She lived between these two dates: Mar 08, 1910 - Apr 08, 2000.

I wonder what death, the afterlife, birth and living was for her as an old woman, now, as a baby and how she fared as an old woman! I always wonder about those things as I age through the 12 stages of Life!

Death, like Life. is a dance you dance, or dance into or dance with. What do you do with Death? Is your life existence, driven by purpose, or an unfolding prophecy? What is it like to simply be ordinary, or crude? I don't know, but I have known and know plenty like this. Truth is I am more interested in people living in places within themselves filled with powers embracing those powers and imparting unto others!

How these questions are answered orchestrate how one dreams, thinks, believes, has sex, and conducts themselves in relation to who they are and who others are in their own lives!

How do you live? - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 11/18/18 

Claire Trevor, Belgium-French American actress.

God, she was elegant, and obviously from a bygone era when elegance, not crudeness, was a gift to the soul, and fundamental to the essence of a woman's bearing!... It is harder to impart this sensibility into girls today for reasons their parents and their adults need to uproot themselves... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/16/18 

Claire Trevor, Belgium-French American actress b. 1910 !!!!

Claire Trevor, actress, lived a long time! She was 90 when she died. She would never have crossed the color line for love. She would have faded into contempt, loss favor and jobs. Her marital years would have lent no understanding in her favor had she... ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/18/18

Loss of Self, Loss of Father, Loss of Soul.

I don't understand the last part of the sentence: "... paid for with the currency of the heart." Perhaps because I keep thinking about my father's last months with this condition of the soul!

I was watching Daddy's soul during this dreadful period as he died with Alzheimer's, and it haunts me to this day what I saw, and with what I perceived and learned. One thing was clear eventually: Daddy's soul suffered. There was a vacuity none of us want to fully embrace because it is a terror with no thought process. It has its own scent, its own movement and time; it suspends over an uncertain substance. . .

Maybe I do understand your claim: Alzheimer's' is a disease of the brain that is paid for with the currency of the heart." ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (first born of Herbert and Constance B. Woods) 8/29/18

Will You Give So Others Live?

Eartha Kitt lived from January 17, 1927 until December 25, 2008. 

During that lifetime she spoke out against the Vietnam War and was blackballed for a decade in the States. In your lifetime what will you stand for, die for, live for? - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 

Eartha Kitt spoke her negative views on the war in Vietnam at a White House luncheon, she was effectively blacklisted and didn't work in the States for fully a decade. "What will you stand for? Without that answer how do you live to die in the end? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

A Question to American Life.

Gun held and pointed at you by a beautiful white woman. 

Is she hot, or not? 

No. Nothing fun, funny or sexy about a woman aiming a gun your direction. Sexy clothes, an incredible beauty, flat abs, hips, sexy jeans are distraction. Two things: if her hand is steady, her eyes are deadly you up 'shits' creek. Most of us don't know where this creek comes through, but we recognized it when we pay attention! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/20/18 

HIV: There Hope?

What is HIV?

HIV . HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is an incurable virus, which can cause a life-threatening condition called AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome).. A person who has been infected with HIV is said to be HIV-positive. There are two main types of HIV: HIV-1 and HIV-2. The most aggressive form of the virus is HIV-1.. If untreated, HIV can cause so much damage that the infected person's immune system no longer works properly. When this happens, the person is said to have developed AIDS.. 

Although HIV reproduces very rapidly, it is referred to as a 'slow virus'. This is because it takes a long time - many years, in most cases - before it causes so much damage that a person gets ill. HIV differs from other viruses in that it specializes in attacking the very immune cells - white blood cells known as Helper T cells, or CD4 cells - that are designed to rid the body of infections.. By infecting and ultimately destroying Helper T cells, HIV seizes control of the body's immune system. Infected cells no longer behave as they should and instead of helping to fight the disease, they actually spread it.. There is no cure for HIV, so although drugs can help to keep the virus under control, they cannot completely get rid of the infection. 

HIV is the virus that causes AIDS. HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. HIV attacks cells in the body that fight disease and uses them to reproduce. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.) HIV is transmitted though blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk. HIV attacks the part of the body that fights disease, the immune system. Specifically speaking, white blood cells. People infected with HIV may have increased difficulty fighting disease over time. 

When an HIV+ person reaches a certain level of immune deficiency they may receive an AIDS diagnosis. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS), a condition in humans in which the immune system begins to fail, leading to life-threatening opportunistic infections. Infection with HIV occurs by the transfer of blood, semen, vaginal fluid, pre-ejaculate, or breast milk. Within these bodily fluids, HIV is present as both free virus particles and virus within infected immune cells. The four major routes of transmission are unsafe sex, contaminated needles, breast milk, and transmission from an infected mother to her baby at birth (perinatal transmission).

HIV is transmitted via sharing of needles, blood, breast milk, joint and spinal fluids. [source] 


That said, there is a cure outside of the business of healthcare in the States. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories [Oct. 15, 2018]

Death in Lust, Ideals in Chains.

Raquel Welch only in a string stays this way in our collective consciousness: the creative side.  

Black women leave a lot to think about!

Taraji P. Henson's captivating way of being present, and at risk and in the splendor 

of one moment at a time! That's quite a gift to have as expression of Life, of gratitude! 

When you think about the lot of African women's life in relation to white men, and there is horror; deep horrors always just beneath the surface you should cringe. Coping. How they coped is an insight into how they faced and dealt with the terror of that relationship. There have been a number of white men whose lives were destroyed trying to destroy African women over the centuries. It is not openly spoken of; it is part of the dark folklore between then and now! 

The complexity of these stories is woven into the fabric of women, Black women like the actress, Taraji P. Henson, and many others! White women need to learn from those they once and enslaved, and continue, for the most part, to express this emotion towards in life day to day. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 10/11/18 

[This] provocative older white woman, as she is: a stabilizing force, confronts history in ways other races can't. Do they take advantage of this politically, or socially? Is it making a difference their social status for others? It can be measured, but so far fear dominates them. "When is enough, enough?" answered leads better than being bound by the spell of their long dark history. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [10/11/18]  

Amber Cream here. There should be flow and glory in womanhood, but survival makes it another. As one older Black woman told me: 'a wet pussy and an empty pocketbook don't go together'. That is whore talk, or survival or reality?

Technical Hunts

Texting while sexy! Unconscious has become an allure to the hunter. The phone has eased the skill level requirements of the predator. Limited peripheral vision, loss of awareness, and dulled sense of place contribute to the ease of the hunt nowadays. There is a level of stupidity our young people have embraced rendering them ignorant of a real world more dangerous than the dilemma of what some guy meant in his one-dimensional text.

Being used by a technology is a testament of weakness placing one's soul in jeopardy. Warnings are meaningless in today's world! It has affected simple things all of them gifting the hunter with more opportunities to examine the women he wants without much caution. The warrior and the hunter know the importance of awareness. In the wild, the prey's awareness keeps him alive; across the country the hunted pride themselves being unaware.

Tens of thousands of people devoted to their phones have died violently, been kidnapped, followed home to be robbed and died in car accidents. Those are meaningless deaths. None of those deaths change behavior and attitudes amongst the devotees. They carry on vaguely aware death came to the 'unawares'. Being able to block the obvious from careful consideration is now a way of life. If people want to live and die thus I leave them to that. It is the way of the warrior. - Gregory E.

Listen to Soul Loss.

Eartha Kitt and her baby,Sharpio.

Lisa Bonet (r.) with her daughter.

Whoopi Goldberg, her daughter, her mother and her grandchild.

There is a lot of unnecessary baggage for a country like ours to react to honestly. Honesty, when it was a commodity to a much higher degree than now, governed better minds, and more developed emotions than who is president now! Presidents reflect the nation's soul, its needs and yearnings. What Trump is telling the nation is directed inward. The problem with that is simple: Americans are not reflective; therefore not introspective, nor is it part of the cultural ideal to be perceived thus. This amount of loss of soul is detrimental to a nation's health, but we are a nation who believes deeply in its myths; preferring death to enlightenment, taking more than giving themselves to the truths of what holds us in bondage! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3/24/18
