Afraid, Aware!

Cindy Crawford, a study of a woman. 

Cindy Crawford. She was a young woman when she entered the public collective of memorable white American beauties. She singularly changed the standards of beauty, as all accepted standards are in white estimation, into something relaxing the rigidity of the standard historically held over other races. That is a lot to say, even harder is to have spent time understanding the racial ideologies in place in the West, the play of sexual dynamics in politics, white conquests, and Europe's dominance over every sphere of existence. As a man, a father, it was my responsibility to learn these subjects from the unique perspective of an American Indian and an American African!

For a little woman, Cindy Crawford was on multiple magazine covers, and being studied introspectively by many thinking people in African American communities. She may or may not have known about it then, but surely as she lived longer it became evident. I am not privy to her views on race, and race and beauty. If she has shared any views, young women need to get their heads out of their clouds and ponder what she may have said, and did not share.

My perspective is mine, but I am fully aware of how far Americans praise and worship youth, as if it staves off aging, and dying. But, since my own youth the fallacy of this tendency has always been evident. Unlike millions of American youth, I sought, listened to and studied what the aged and wise had seen, and learned, and wished to pass down into the next generations.

Without historical reference readily available to them many readers stop here. The curious, who are seeking the truth, raise questions that hopefully will lead towards truth, and deeper understanding about the circular nature of truths governing daily life, and public policies. It is work.

Fashion portrait of Anetta shot by Kenneth Lysgaard. [Nov. 2018]

"... There is softness to weigh in the presence of serenity and the brief feel of what within women draws men to their essence. The mystique of a woman can only be developed by the woman herself. The how is based on knowledge from a woman's elders..." 

It is, or for me, has always been a source of wonder the ways women convey complex forms of expression that have nothing to do with brute force, but with intangible elements that change the core of a man. Is it stillness, stillness within, or is it merely how the core of resistance is the blending of elements to understand and see the other?..."

I’ll love you forever
I’ll like you for always
As long as I’m living My baby you’ll be ❤️

Forever a Mama’s boy ❤️-

- Jessica Lynne

Jessica Lynne and her son early in the morning, 

August 8, 2018. 

"By definition, the term, Mama's boy, is a simple description of a boy's love for his mama. In his manhood that love creates value to this relationship. The boy becomes her great protector! In essence, a mother gives birth to her protection giving birth to a son!... 

Today, a lot of women believe they are the creation of their son into protectors. They aren't. That is the father's job. At some point, that energy can be provoked, not guided by fathers, or grandfathers, into something dark and resentful towards their mothers. American women, often, refute this out of pride and fear that men like me are right, and come to understand what we know the hard way!. . ."

Mysterious tells its own story!

Beyoncé Knowles is beyond lovely and fine on a yacht in Ibiza, Spain, September 2, 2013! Visually, that was a memorable day!!

Nothing is as sexy as the mother of your child after giving birth. That has been my experience each time and for the years to come, as the child gets closer to higher grades in school, the appeal grows. Many fathers feel like that. The esteem of many mothers struggles with their husband's lust for them, but the lust and longing for a pregnant wife is as strong as her resistance and is no small pressure on his loins. Well, after birth the longing for her six weeks to be done with can become unbearable! The women's draw is so strong and so powerful it is hard to describe and impossible to resist for long periods of time!

Women's perception of their bodies is not a kindred feeling to the husband's lust for her, and need for entering inside the body of forces that ties us to them, their souls, their essence and their bodies. This is no mystery to not respect. The misunderstanding of why this tugging in a husband's loins is essential connects responsibility with joy, with play in the intelligent design of family ties that hold worlds together between man, woman and child!

Between Father & Son: his wish.

From Father to Son: "A time will come, hopefully, a father will know the depth of knowing and understanding his child, his child's destiny, and how it is to be proud of his child's life. Life is a force in the world wedded into a weave complicated by simplicity. How we moved through these webs tells how we balance against the female principles. As we age knowing this balance becomes the greatest challenge. Within it are insights mere belief cannot possibly grasp... " - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/10/18

This Actress provokes thoughts...

Debra Messing in her first movie, A Walk In The Clouds

Debra Messing (born August 15, 1968) is an American actress. She is known for her many television roles, most notably her eight-year run playing Grace Adler on the NBC sitcom Will & Grace... 

I never liked or watched Will & Grace. I was no fan of lily white shows depicting, with skill, how white people look at the world around them without seeing anyone else, but themselves! It is a dismissive quality brilliantly written in this and other shows like Sex and City, Mad About You, and so. That's how it is in daily life! 

I pay respects to the actress' respect and deep love for her father. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3/8/18

"Alexa Loren's jean shorts coming down or up?"

This is a frequently asked question men ask themselves

Alexa Loren's jean shorts coming down or up? This is a frequently asked question men ask themselves seeing any of the many women they want. How it is kept secret from women is the myth women prefer men relish in. "The first two seconds," my father told me at 15, "a woman knows what she wants to do with you. She is just waiting for you to open your mouth. What you need to focus on is within you. What do you study, think about; what kind of music do you listen to?" 

These things are passed down father to son, but today's fathers are badly equipped. The Black American community is crippled by their participation in their demise. White American men suffer under the centuries long misconceptions of sex, and their profound disgust with the female essence. It takes a trickster to see and say the words for men to discover their missteps in thought, reason, understanding and actions. 

The Red man is occupied with the repercussions of losing the cultural and the bloody wars against the Europeans on our lands. Two things focused the white people on the extermination of the Red People: the lust for everything not theirs, and the need to kill. In the scope of these vibrations the average American citizen trying to be righteous and doing the right thing struggles against the illusions of who all of us are in this country. What suppresses us all is the lie that became the myth of this country's origins.

ELDER TALK, blessing

How do put blessing on a child? It is different than on a young person, and distinct in the proper way of being fair; it is a different delivery to boys, to men, girls and women. It requires a scope of one's own life to fairly assess what is needed in a young person's life at the exact moment you meet them.

It was a good day to sit outside in an open café with a cup of fancy hot chocolate and a breakfast sandwich in DC yesterday afternoon. I saw two Black boys, here in the northeast part of DC, defiantly walking passing a joint betwixt them. They chose to sit at a table near me. The one facing me looked in my eyes, glanced again and then stared hard ignoring my nod and said, "Whutzup?"

I paused. His aggression was no more than anger wrapped with the tension preceding an anticipation of a diatribe. If, I'd been another type man the kid might have felt compelled to jump in my face. Feeling small is a bit part in the make up of boys trying to fill out the spaces of the expectations of being a 'bad boy'. It is the father energy with the capacity to quell their passion wild boys respond to with a degree of reverence. How this starts is with a question asked. The question shapes the man's character for the boy to understand as a safe place. It sets the boy up for new revelations he had not known how to ask.

"Your walk speaks to me about power."
"What?"
"I see you, the both of you, with a sense of power about you. The question to you is how will you develop it?"

The strongest boy who'd engaged in eye contact leaned forward, curious. "What'd do mean?" he asked. "This is not a question to answer now, and not to me." I said. "You grow with it as you grow and mature over the years. Just remember the question."

How do you put a blessing on a boy's head? You put a thought in their heads.

Father's spirit to his son's spirit.

a Man speaks of being a Father.

Lemuel and his father (me) Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories. November 19, 2017.

The men who reflect their fathers are all alike in one sense; in a deeper way it differs in the substance of things planted within the body of soul, and the soul of the mind. In the developmental process of father teaching son's spirit, there was a deliberate and exacting science fathering my son. It was different from the girls, and my youngest son...

But, this is but a glimpse of fatherhood at the levels beyond glib comments passing as sage advise popular today! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/5/17

Outbreak: LAW against Sense

Eight employees of the Netflix show, House of Cards, accused actor Kevin Spacey of sexual harassment, and assault. One of the young men said: 

"The low-level staffer recalled being assigned to pick Spacey up for an on-location shoot outside of Baltimore. As they were approaching the set, Spacey while behind the wheel “put his hands down the production assistant’s pants.”

“I was in a state of shock,” he said. “He was a man in a very powerful position on the show and I was someone very low on the totem pole and on the food chain there.”

Once they arrived, he escorted Spacey to his trailer with his belongings. In the trailer, the production assistant alleges that Spacey cornered him and blocked the exit.

“I told him, ‘I don’t think I’m ok with this, I don’t think I’m comfortable with this,'” the production assistant said. That’s when the actor became “visibly flustered,” fled the trailer, got in his car and left for the remainder of the day, according to the production assistant." 

Part Two

This narrative of a male victim of the sexual advances of a predatory homosexual man is typical. The advent of the Gay Rights movement at the height of its agenda manifesting as law, devoid of its moral contradictions, has created an acceptance of weakness supplanting decisive actions to protect boys from these men. The men who prey now have an out: denial. They have been relying on the naysayers against the relationship between pedophiles, and homosexuality, as a way of being 'afraid of homosexuals'. In the real world, this has foolish a belief to intake. It is a deadly mistake. The victims are everywhere lost in the mess of being compliant, of being accepting, or pretending.

The hard question: "how do we protect our children?" is lost in the Western quest to be tolerant, as the potential victims are being persuaded to allow almost anything, thus creating more vulnerable victims unable to protect themselves effectively.

Part Three

Shamed on national television, one of my favorite actors, is being told on by the young boys, and men he was used to getting his way with. This narrative of a male victim of the sexual advances of a predatory homosexual man is typical. With a populace pretending there is no connection between pedophiles and homosexuality and the national fear of Gay activists, the responsibility to protect virginity and vulnerability is without the question: "How do we protect the innocent?" This edict is far from the lexicon of adulthood, of parenting.

"How do we teach children to defend themselves against predators looking for boys to have sex?"

What is currently passing for sage advice is fundamentally unstructured with no strength of character. It is all in the words of one of the victims I've laid before you to read and ponder:

Part Four

The above mentioned boy's way of getting out and away from Kevin Spacey worked, but it reflected the very weakness of men like this, and centuries ago in ancient Greece and Rome with a similar climate, men like this could manipulate feelings and fear, and have their way. But, many men, true men, would have taught their sons deadly arts that would have left Spacey with a pencil in the soft tissue of an ear, or worse. The father of a boy who'd defended himself thus would step in, at this point, and take on the law in the most logical of ways to protect his son from the system of thought that pretends this reality does not exist.

The Old Speak against the trend.

body of Tiffany Joy‎.

"Cool elegant smile speaks subtly to the person receiving the look." 

[The] "cool elegant smile speaks subtly to the person receiving the look." is one of the observations my father took notice of, and commented on during the long years I knew Daddy.

Fathers show their sons what is important to notice about women, and tells the sons, by action, the many things too subtle to number that need attention to in the course of time with women. What young men have always done in pursuit of sex has been to stalk it without nourishing their potency with restraint, for the purpose of being able to better see who they are pursing.

Today's cultural tendency to continually give credence and honor to the 'pimp game' has left in the wake of its prominence hiding in the swamps, the dignity of character that propels men to be better men! Women, content with their whore status in this game, keep the crudeness on the rise against the backdrop of women clamoring for their rights in every sphere of the culture, here in the States! Unable to see the dichotomy of these forces women and men insist upon living their contradictions without challenge; thus choosing to be overwhelmed by the consequences they seek quick fixes for!

Children come out of this cultural milieu unsupported by wisdom, and the protection of understanding their histories and the histories of things! Lacking true insight and taking counsel, not with wise elders, or statesmen of note in their immediate grasp of people encircling their lives; they take counsel from those who don't know: their peers. A lot of stupid decisions are made by these young people. Dumb unproductive discussions without a spiritual base occur leaving them without any basis in a probing understanding of who they are, and where they fit in the world from the perspective of divinity, or at the least; in the ideal of being a person, in the moment.

As I will say again: "Breath allows hope to manifest an actuality!" As long as the human spirit lives in a physical body there is the hope of spiritual evolution! That is how the old and the wise sense things out of the intangible, the unimaginable and hard to manage as reality! May the young rest upon this as they grow to unlearn to learn what they have missed without adults mature and deep enough to make their next generation more than!

This is all judgment and assessment in the aftermath of European conquest, and the undoing of what held the world together!

MEN ONLY!

The question on the table amongst men on the Men's Page is probing into how we see women venturing into what many feel should remain the exclusive domain of masculinity: professional body building.


There is an aerial shot of Cindy Landolt sitting in a chair, head down. Her thick black hair covers her face at an angle. She is in a nice bikini and all of her muscles are tensed showcasing a developed body of tanned muscle. It is a sexy pose typical of a woman sitting in way to seduce and attract men. But, it doesn't work for a lot men. Hear what they say without the presence of women, like Oprah, getting in the way of how men really feel, think and respond to stimuli.

The moderator simplified the whole process of thoughtful reaction, and gut churning reaction with a question in the vernacular of the times: "Would you BLAZE it?" That means have sex with her?

First man: "You know what the problem is so many men on here want to judge and talk about this woman, because this woman have muscle and her body mass is muscular, but then today she still a woman and she still beautiful so hell yeah I'll get it on with her."

Second man: "If I want to lay down with a woman that looks like a man by the body. I may as well just turn gay. And that's not me taking a poke at gay people I'm just saying I want my woman to look like a woman."

Third man: "Never....its unnatural....he man...made her self ugly her self....so no issue in saying it she is artificial n ugly....Its against nature."

Fourth man: "I would try it those pussy muscles are strong ass hell!"

Fifth man said, " I can hear her now saying .....Oh I'm cumming in a scary old man voice."

Sixth man said, "I feel like if you said no she gone blaze you lmfao. that's fucking disgusting tho."

There were a lot of comments about how they would have sex with her, what were the possible ways she could beat them up. Did she squirt and if so would squirting deflate her muscle mass? There was curiosity that meant they'd have sex with her to see what it would be like. One man like many fear a sex change happened in the course of the woman's workouts, and women like her that changed her into a man, or some sort of a man. All, and all, not a man was concerned about, cared, or was interested in her soul.

Another man said what most men feel. " I couldn't, women are supposed to be soft."


We have all read or seen interviews about this sport: fitness training and bodybuilding. I am not going to balance the conversation with the opinions women hold on this subject, nor will I interject the conservative notions of religious women on the subject, or the more liberal type of women who pride themselves invading the domains of men. I won't intervene on behalf of women to say things that will charge women with the sense I am in touch with my feminine side, and God, no! I will not venture into the whole gay thing that insists on finding ways into discussions about male/female dynamics!

Men have barber shops, titty bars, and cigar bars left as the exclusive domain for men only. Women will find their way into our spaces, but they are regulated to the fringes because men, we need our own spaces to feel the world in the context of strong masculinity unfiltered and monitored by our women, and social norms that too often violate the sacredness of what is and needs to be manhood! 

For the men who like to golf, or fish or hunt or girl watch we like to bring our sons with us to experience the activities shared with our flesh and blood who will grow up aching to grope girls, and screw women who have a hold on something every real man wants, and thinks about. Our boys don't need to be around feminine men to be men. Their fathers will teach them about protecting the weak as the relationship between fathers and sons carries out its tasks and has adventures.

Our sons need to feel what real men are, and what that energy is for without explanations and definitely without the complaints and judgment from the likes of people like Oprah banging in our heads like pots on pans about what they think a man should be. Boys need to know what to fight for, and who to fight and who he should lay his life down for as a man when and if the need arises from the clinches of war, and life's conflicts. A boy needs to learn how to steal to be able to spot a thief. A man may have to kill someone so a father takes him on that journey. A boy needs to learn how and when to kill, and needs to learn healing modalities to restore life.

A boy needs his father to emulate and a father needs to pass down to his son all he learned and to show his son how to be himself, be a man and take care of his mother and be a brother to his sisters. A boy needs to learn how to love from his father after the years of his mother showering him with her love. A boy needs to learn how to love like a man who loves himself and how to love women. A boy needs to learn what is gentle and soft as a man feeling the texture of the woman he loves returning her love for him to his soul. A boy needs to learn how to seduce a woman, and provide for her and learn how to manipulate in the world those who need to be manipulated and how to be honest in a corrupted world. A boy needs to know how to give another man an ass whipping when he asks for one and how to repair broken relationships. A man needs to learn that at some point, for the sake of his family how to negotiate with the devil to get what he needs.

How does a boy protect? He learns to develop the impulse within him from his father and the men his father gathers around him. A man is his friends.

Balancing the elements, feminine and masculine, within a man comes along with each of the above listed endeavors. It is a learned practice taught from the priest-craft of a boy's uncles, grandfathers and his father. When it is time for a woman to be a part of this the father will let both son and wife know when it is time, and who else is to come in and contribute to the process of his son ascending into his manhood!
