an at-home-wife...

"... Wives like Crystal Taylor do not suppress their sex drive. It grows, they change from within. Their husbands submit to a process of growth youth had no hint of this potential, this powerful state of being married to a now older wife!..." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 5/23/18

Crystal Taylor is married and tailored for this life of expression. This stage of a woman's life can go any number of directions. Husband's integrity is tested the most at this stage. . . - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 

Crystal Taylor's husband comes home to her...

Between Two Generations

Considering the stories of white men and African people marriage between the two is always, at its roots, a marriage between the children of the slave owner and the children of the slave. Those cords are deep, long and powerful. Just because time has past doesn't mean the myth of distance is applicable. The present in the past is a dream, the past in the present is our collective history.  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories


Erzulie Kay I think people should marry who they fall in love with regardless of race but if this is saying to Mary white man because they’re better than black men than hell no! 


Gregory E. Woods There is a lot in the depths of marriage and marrying beyond a trite approach or attitude. The past always resides in a marriage, as well as the future is dreamt in the present.

LIFE when old!

A man needs a woman, and sometimes has to wait until she, and he have aged and matured to discover each other, in the deeper sense of being together! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

Riddle: descent or right?

Wife of Art Warda, Kristin Warda shows her breasts off.

"Why?" is a question to ask, and "how?" they allowed her

sharing this picture is a compelling subject. 

Married couples allow each other to do things another couple may not allow. In some marriages, it keeps their integrity in order in ways indistinguishable from what another may call a sin. There are couples where the husband allows his wife to display her body for an online audience. "Why?" is a question to ask, and "how?" they allowed her sharing in this way is a compelling subject.

It is important for young inexperienced couples to learn how to wade through the complex waters of freedom of expression. The way Westerners view sex and marriage has crossed many lines indigenous peoples have learned to establish balance in Life. Western cultures have learned to disrespect many moral standards from a perspective foreign to decency, and in the momentum of that long ago decision; we in their future lay claim to freedom of expression with and without decency, or moral standards worth anything! It is a moral dilemma these days deciding what is right and what is wrong. How, Native people and those of us throughout the African Diaspora resolve these contradictions is determined by our relationship with our Ancestors, and our knowledge of what is right and what is wrong in the equation of balance and right relationship. - Gregory E.

A Wonder, a Woman to Wonder about. . .

Jodi West, a woman to want.

Jodi West. Her maturity makes the long looks at her turn inward, one can suspect for profound reasons a man needs to know about, if he needs substance. An interesting thing to note: she is married and famous for her work in porn. How does she and her husband define maturity, marriage, and merging?... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 4/29/18

a Portrait.

Elegant and pretty white woman. She is composed, her posture suggestive, her beauty is spell casting.

What a breathless capacity must exist within her soul... Youth doesn't have the surprise old age has within sexy women. It is an endless discovery being with one woman for long years. The sex, the company of, and the feeling of being part of a subject wondered about is exhilarating in one sense, on a deeper level it is work that challenges the integrity of being man and wife for a long time.

- Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 2/7/18 

Knowing from within...

". . . Home life is centered within the woman of the house. Centered she guides the forces of the union between elements drawing husband home by this ability to merge. The signs of this are subtle. This woman tells this story. Look close." ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3/21/18

Wicked Women
Feb. 2017



Ernie Reed (whom I don't know) reported: "If you treatem like shit they love you forever. Works both ways, i left an angel for no good reason . But then i met the devil now i know what that phrase actually means , i would have stayed forever if the angel would have put her cigarette out on my arm. Also i would have never left after 30 years .she needs lessons on how to treat a guy!" 


His was a strong way of learning himself by revealing contradictions people are comfortable believing that this practice is normal and workable. It isn't until the death of aspects of themselves that are weighing their souls down, some look up and see they are strangling themselves being consistent in their inconsistencies.

And then the ball dropped. I couldn't believe it. His wife, Nancy Gonzaga Reed chimed in!

ok husband. we have been together for 30 years. u tell the world that I don't know how to treat a man. if u were a real man you wouldn't have said something so cruel about me. I gave you my love, respect, trust, compassion and forgiveness all these years. no , I will not do some of the horrible things u asked me to do. no husband would have asked their wives to do what u asked me to do. Ever. I will not become a whore for you. those girls in pornos don't enjoy the things they get paid to do. i am a lady and i have respect for myself.

any man would be happy to be treated the way i have treated you.
So yes husband. I did treat u like a real man. 

maybe you should look at the woman you threw in the trash . and say ty.
no other woman would have stayed with u as long as I did. my forgiveness is the only thing that kept our marriage together.

I am a real woman. so either step up to the plate and treat me the way i deserve, or and let me know you don't have what it takes to be a real man. believe me. there are other men that want nothing more than to have a woman like me beside them. So quit humiliating me on line and be a fucking man!!

Rose says so much the lips cannot say.

Help my Unbelief.

There was a time in my life I searched for a wife intelligently. During this period I met Jehovah Witness women spreading their doctrine in tiny little group huddles, and occasionally a Catholic nun, or two who would peak my attention! I have stories about the one's from each camp who aroused me causing me to put in work to persuade the one I'd singled out to be my mate! To another person, it is a credulous request bordering on sacrilegious. To me, it was an untapped approach, a venture worth taking, a hunt prepared for over the preceding years stalking solitude.

In the end, I wanted to do things the old way. I asked my Grandfather Teacher to find me a wife.

Nun's unbridled passions are secrets. Well, that is what a lot of us men tell ourselves. I only had one real possibility of breaking through the shell of a Nun to find the shell hiding her core that needed the balance of a husband. If it weren't for the senior woman present in that small group of Nuns, I would have courted her, and possibly been her husband. That was a long time ago. I fared better waiting for Jan. - Gregory E.

BUSY in her life beyond fame...

Suzanne Somers, the face of conviction.

"From Suzanne Somers' appearance on the 1970's sitcom, Three's Company forward, she has been a bubbling energy. But, her story is one about a woman with powers that led her to the right man to be married to whom she could build with in a lifetime. It isn't something to take for granted mating with the right soul, but it is mostly dreamt about, as if dreams can come true; not worked for as all achievements require to be successful..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/20/18 

Suzanne Somers older, wizen & fine. 

Command subjugates, and releases!

Look at Old Ways.

Older woman's meditation. photo by Joe McNally

"Older wives teach vision to conform and 'see' from within what was once on the surface seductive! Beauty is transformative; busy about changing value, and perception of form and substantive qualities that hold marriage together..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (3/15/18)

That'sRight!

The right woman is the dream a husband comes home to see himself reflected. Men come home to themselves with the right woman in their hearts. It isn't a secret, it is secret from... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 10/26/17 

Do I need a story?

Pleasing to the spirit.

There is the mother within her. That is the draw of Kara Davis; that is what comes out of her, what becomes her. If there is sex appeal, it is there, but in the context of how her husband sees her he sees delight and is content to be with her, and her alone. This is a description of how women draw men to their beds, their hearts, into matrimony! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/14/17 

Waking Softly.

Soft delicate women can recondition a man's harsh disposition for a time, but that is unnecessary work. Women should simply prepare for the mate. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

IN our Prayers, Thoughts Come!

2011 South Africa

This is my family. The family that is trying to be resilient. On this pic we had no worries, we were all well.

I am trying my best to keep us from unraveling, but it is difficult. At times I don't know what to do... my husband their father is battling all the complications from the stroke. None of us are used to navigating life without Reggie being in the center imparting his wisdom.

What we are experiencing we could have never prepared for. Each day I rise I look for the good, the light in the dim situation. I try to make sense of everything.

I can't run away. This is my reality." - Gervel Jones-Sampson 

... You can't.

I have been following the story of a man and his wife, Gervel Jones-Sampson, for a little while, as the husband struggles with a major health crisis. His wife is telling the story and her telling is told different because she is wife and mother caring for her heart as she cares for the body and heart of her husband wrestling within his mortality, their children in the struggles of being adult children, the next generation. There is a condition, a unique awareness Creatress placed within wives to be Sacred women. It is evidenced in the way wives love their men in hard situations. Assembled with respect for the changing terrain of loving her husband this type of wife understands the complexity of love. Encircled by the challenge to loving a husband is the glyph, the Tree of Life.

Losing my parents over the slow pace of the years between first Mommy and then Daddy leaving this life in pain, lent eyes to me I did not have, and a storytelling I didn't have the capacity for previously. 

I told Gervel these words:

"I pain thinking of your family story this present date. There are similarities to my family story. As encouragement, the changes each day brings, in retrospect, may reveal core relationships between events from the family's distant past and recent past that prepared the family unit for this trail. It is an odd comfort how our lives prepare us, and distance us at the same time. Either view links us to our ancestral lines bridging us to the long ago, and the long away. It is why we live and we live deep in the engagement that brought us here.

None of us (my brothers and sister) fathomed how we were made ready for our parent's illnesses. It began when they began caring for us as babes, and children. We paid attention and learned how to care for them. Mirrors. The mirrors before us and them reflected the light playing with the shadows playing along the paths of our living. . .

My prayers and appreciation for your bewilderment, your love for each other and the bonds being strengthened linking with all Life pulling your family together!"
