Quiet is the Storm

The Alpha and Omega of Beauty, she is.

Look Into Their Eyes.

Vanity's Playboy picture 

Barbara Babcock, an actress on the series, Hill Street Blues, in the early 1980's was to me the most sensual woman on television. What she did onscreen was undeniable, memorable, and unbelievable!! ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

Sirens: Christy Taylor, Musetta Vander, Mia Tate, from the 2000 movie, "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?" singing as they flow towards three defenseless Southern white boys! The effect was disarming to me the viewer, and I was grateful to not have been asked to test my mettle against their powers. In particular, the lead siren weakened me, and she was on the big screen! Imagine what I would have had to do in their presence! Would it have been less a stress upon me as those from my own past challenges by such creatures? I'll not ever know. As Gil Scott-Heron sang in one of songs: "It's only a movie!" ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

Captivating subject captured by photographer, Brian Lewis Houghton 

in May 2015. titled: "Man Cave" 

Tera Patrick's seduction begins with her eyes, or it is her movements within stillness, the slopes of her body, or the way she evades scrutiny attracting judgement and envy simultaneously. Pondering such subtleties is a mark of maturity in a man understanding how women are mysterious in our endeavors to be successful and worth their effort assessing our value against their needs. Is it important how a whore regards our manhood? Yes, it is when the warrior code asks for clarity to see how the craft needs to merge with the elements of sexual congress... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

OF Susan.

Susan Sarandon without make up is as beautiful and appealing as her intellectual momentum creates shifts in thought processes. Engaging women like her overwhelm simplicity easily... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/13/18

Susan Sarandon full in her powerful way of being a woman

attending the 70th Cannes Film Festival!

Supreme something in Susan Sarandon's beauty, is an essence inaccessible to physical touch, and inadmissible as fodder for the lower elements of men, who hunt for these qualities for consumption. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

AFRICAN WOMEN: What they Know, We forgot.

African style, African woman.

African women are disarming!!!!

Pride and comfort within one's being speaks to the soul like no one else's assessment of value can create... Love this shot. ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/10/18

NOT FAR: Europe's DARK AGES!

Grief after Kavanaugh's appointment. 

photo by Mary Mathis. October 5, 2018.

I shot the Kavanaugh protests this morning for NPR, and this is the photo that will always stick with me. I walked up to her after, needing her name for the photo but knowing it was a terrible time to ask. When I asked, she ignored me and said, “How are we going to find the strength to keep fighting?” I was speechless.
She said, “Are we going to be out here for another 30 years? I don’t have 30 years left.” - Mary Mathis

Kyla Cole, in the powers of... 

photographer unknown. Sorry. 

Thoughts from an Elder:

Jeanne Fine has a powerful presence. As a woman it is one force, but as a whore in the porn industry what was taken, and what was gained are answered by Life, not men... - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

Elegance, an elegant invitation.

69 year old Helen Mirren smoothed the curve of her bottom in this form fitting green lace gown walking down the red carpet for the film, Woman In Gold, at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival in Berlin and the world paused a little bit her direction! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories  

the Complexity of Stories

the innocence of Miler Miya by Pierre Granger.

The model is Ukrainian and the photographer's page is Kapturphoto.

This image of Miler Miya is a sensitive portrayal of a wondrous thing: the embryonic stage of womanhood! The question to follow is found in how this stage is seen, appreciated, understood, probed, and valued. How it is devalued begins with projection into beliefs one carries from the fundamental contempt for the female principle embedded in Western ideology! Freedom begins acknowledging the origin of the lie, and in this case; this evil's indwelling presence within the falsehood of unbalanced humanity, a disrespected essence, and a disembodied integrity..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/9/18

The Desire of Want is a thought. The thought of a developed Black American woman is a genesis, an awakening. A wise woman's thoughts are above the expectations of adolescence. Listen. - Gregory E. Woods, (Dawn Wolf), Keeper of Stories 4/9/18

Music of a woman's soul is gently heard.

"Bathing in a river. It is the most natural cleansing from birth throughout one's life. White men's non-belief in the sanctity of the Female, and her essence spoiled water. Water became commodity, and the focus of wars to come..." -  Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

What They Teach by perception.

Salma Hayek has an expression of determination, accomplishment and developed sense of self. Women have themselves to develop. She can be a teacher for many. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/12/18

Priya Rai a man may want, but what does he get in exchange for who he was meant for? Now, there is a quest to be named in the Medicine of a man's manhood.  - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 4/12/18  

LUST or LONGING?

Lust has its way out into a man's loins. Without thought a man is helpless, and weak beyond respectability his name can become mud! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 

"Man in thought. Beloved, let me never imagine I am something. Let me never forget I am nothing. What grace you have showered upon my being, to have filled this space with You alone." - Mooji (1/20/14) 

Fat 'n Fine.

Kirstie Alley is an intriguing personality I've enjoyed over the decades. Even her contradictions were compelling as she aged. I also found her aging process and the way she wrestled with her weight did not lessen her physical beauty. As a fat woman it became subtle and later rebellious; during the attempts to lose weight her playfulness was sexy and intelligent. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6/13/18

Kirstie Alley by Adama Taylor rehearsing on Monday, March 21, 2011 for Dancing With The Stars.

Emma Stone by Craig McDean.

Emma Stone's beauty is contemplative, but her voice, how she uses it; its sound is commanding the way lush is a feeling holding you in one space... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 6/13/18

the Womb has Power!

Michelle Lewin, fitness model!

Beautiful women, who command are more easily misunderstood as being powerful because drawing attention to themselves by the force of their essence can be disguised as vanity, or self-absorption by any number of men, unable to see beyond need, or lust. It is distracting the illusion of Beauty, but enforced as a presence in the Medicine teachings; it becomes a tool, a shield, and a weapon!...

There is more, but this medium typically is over-populated by undeveloped people foreign to the esoteric or the way of the Warrioress distinct from the Warrior's Way. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5/9/18

"Mirrors have a way of seeing into self. If you stare in one with the least amount of light surrounding you deep into your eyes you will see someone, or something that will startle you!" - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

the Mystery thereof, within and with force...

Yasmina Rossi naked in a vast landscape in her

63rd year of Life giving forces to her being!

When you stand naked upon the Earth, our Mother in a loose and free way with land, water and the element of fire in the loins, or from the heat of the sun; a timeless reminder hits your confidence, and you release the idea of yourself into the air to fall down on the ground!... It means a lot to the soul this ritual without form, or order to moving in the winds naked, and alone surrounded by silence and those voices. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/3/18
