You Can't Live Without Belief!

"Pregnancy for Sanya Richards Ross was a mysterious occurrence she carried within and wore in her spiritual robes." ~ Alowan Chanteh Inyan Wichasha, Sirmiq Aattuq Wisdom Keeper [8/19/18]
 

This Deep Knowledge.

Conscious Conception is the intention to call forth life onto this earth, into a mother’s womb with the loving intent, consent and support of the father. 🤰To agree as partners to acknowledge the responsibility of caring for that life unconditionally in all ways and forever. To do this as a partnership with united hearts and some type of connection to the Divine, Great Spirit, Creator, God, the Goddess… or insert whomever you connect with as a spiritual guide.❤- -

Of this moment, the photographer, Yap Kh wrote: "Wearing a set of dark-coloured winter clothings and holding his hands with a cup of freshly filled tea to keep himself warm, an elderly man with white beard is waiting his breakfast to be served." I would love to know more. This part of the world is foreign to most Westerners! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8/10/18 

Death and Resurrection. photo by Stuart Jarman.

Chilling. It is as if she is dying herself to herself. This is like a mystical account of she dying within herself the way Mother Earth has to bear the pain of life-death-resurrection over and over again!. . . 'Death and Resurrection' is what I would title this piece. Wonder what Stuart Jarman titled this piece? - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8/10/18

Suspended in thoughts

Married mother of 3 boys, 5,2 and 1 years old. Tiffany Hidey's husband gave her permission to post a photo of herself, in blue panties, a short dark A-shirt with a clear view of what she offers to her husband, without crossing the line of decency making her appear sluttish, but alluring; because she doubts her physical appeal to others despite what others say.

There are a lot of women like this.

In the Western world, as I've noted before, women bask in showing their bodies off, and advocating for equality, and finally have more courage to stand against the sexual misconduct of men reigning over their lives in every possible sphere! But, the questions to esteem returns to the body, the physical body displayed as a boast to personal confidence in private groups online (which aren't really private) displayed online frequently in many areas, or most telling in their everyday lives at work, church, parks, etc.!

Is it a fault, or are men at fault; meaning patriarchies are in question, to be questioned intelligently?

in the Beginning of our lives...

Father and child 

Black motherhood. If white women are as strong as they say, they'd answer the question snickered behind their backs. "Why did our grandmothers take care of their mother's babies?" - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 10/19/17 

Father's spirit to his son's spirit.

Simple the Moments, hard the tasks.

Mother of three. On dit, toutes les mamans sont belle. We love the variations of beauty they hold, and we behold with awe and respect for their inevitable changes! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 1/5/18

"Our women's strength to stand is dependent upon what she knows to tell herself.

In the first place, we are who we tell ourselves..." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 4.7.17 

Women Full of Life!!

Nadia Aboulhosn's breathtaking beauty attracts more attention...

Emma Evins 

[The] naked form of purity pregnant Emma Evins carries as a woman speaks keenly to the bones, the soul of fatherhood! Even though women birth, men hold the balance. Political activism, as it has been done in the West, squashes the spiritual powers pregnancy unfolds into the roles of women and of men with assertions designed to believe in equality, the minimization of the presence of life in a woman, and surely; one can take away from this cultural tendency how these things were created by spiteful people envious of the challenge of the role of motherhood. It is mean the way pregnant women are dismissed as having a 'bump'; more distressing is how women accept the slur! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 8/26/17

Perfect body form of a woman

A Black woman's body after birth ranks among the elements of transformation.

It is part of the unknown. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 2.1.16

Jeneen Piccuirro, these special moments make and are the substance of bonding, the creation of the subtle things that need to take place within the formation of childhood long before the circles of innocence expand into adulthood.

Play.

It is always play that instructs and introduces children to the deep constructs of self, and purpose in life. Without it innocence takes a beating, and the heart struggles to keep ticking its rhythms in alignment with the 'why' of existence.

Shattering Illusion!

For many years, as a Crow Indian, I could not grasp the idea that white men held love for any woman. I had to talk myself into the belief over a period of decades. You see, outside of the worlds of the dominant culture the view of them is nothing akin to what they like to believe. John Wayne may have been a great movie star and movie symbol of rugged manhood, but he was to us Indians and Blacks the boogey man in our stories from our parents and grandparents.  He was the 'what not to do' and the 'who not to be' character.

We watched his movies willingly, but our parents' words were instructing us to pay attention to the illusions and not fall into the dream of how whites wanted us to remember them during their wars on our people! When I became a police man my mother used the spectre of John Wayne to destroy my machismo!

Anyway, this photo is striking! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories (Dawn Wolf) 5/19/17

an Honor to Mothers

Happy Mother's Day in Chinese is  母親節快樂 ! 


Jack Feinberg said of his wife on this day: Mother's Day: "A lot of great mom's out there, but I'm partial to the mom of my children, Yaju Feinberg. She's keeps the whole family in line and has taught me how to be a better parent and husband even though it is a very slow learning curve. Keep Your Lovelight On, Happy Mothers Day!"

It is a profound admission admitting vulnerability as a capacity to learn to be a better man. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5/14/17  

"Sometimes one cannot find the words to correspond with, or express 'awe'. . ."

- Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 5.14.17

mother healing through relaxation ...

"Mothers run great risks investing in themselves mothering their children, and doting over their husbands. It takes strength to carry the energies of a family. It is in the essence of woman this capacity. It is different from the role of men. Equality as a question is insignificant because roles determine usage of energies. It is how we were made and what is profoundly beautiful about being a woman, a man, a mother, a father." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5/7/17
