"... There are prayers within women. They are almost imperceptible, but they can be heard, and they change a man in his dreams, and perceptions of power..." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 3/15/19

In Praise of a Woman.

Luxurious way of Denise Michelle Alling by Erica Robertson.

Somehow this portrait of Ms. Denise Michelle Alling sings. 

In praise of a woman: her right to believe she is safe being available is as important as being safe to be the self she believes she is: as a sensuous being. It is puzzling this riddle. This contradiction appears as clearly a challenge to the core of a manhood she needs to believe exists... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/12/18

The African woman is the great divide in the consciousness of freedom 

because of the interference of European thought and aggressive terrorism. . .

Vulnerable, as a Being, as a feature to what is beautiful within women is the value placed upon the treasure felt within the essence of what is forever elusive, hard to touch with crudeness. . . There is more of this intangible in this moment you, Sam Ding, captured! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 12/02/18

Substance of Character.

CHARACTER of SUBSTANCE

Many good mornings, for me, include an hour with Kathy Lee Gifford. Today, the words of wisdom read were from Brené Brown. "Staying vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection." read by her co-host Hoda Koth.

The two of them spend a short span of time embracing the words of wisdom from their quiet within. Hoda started off saying, "You know when people get hard hearted, and they can't figure out why they can't find something!" Then she cut off from that trail of thought, and said of Kathy Lee Gifford: "I think one of your best traits is there is always a layer of vulnerability; no matter it is..."

Kathy Lee responded: "It's hard to hold on to that through the years, you know, Life has a way of kicking the you know what out of you. But, I think it is important that you develop a tough skin, a really tough skin about the things that don't matter and then keep a tender heart about the things that do."

"You know what kills me now?" she continued. "It's kindness. It used to be cruelty. We've gotten so used to cruelty that I just turn it off, and don't even go there!..."

What she means is that she turns off the television, and she is a television talk show host!

Recognizing the toxicity of the medium her advice and her observations have merit because of her substance. What is within character is the fact within fiction surrounding us, and what else is within character is the substance of the core of ones humanity. ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [Nov. 21, 2018]

Kathie Lee Gifford & Hoda Kotb !!!!

Oh, say! Can you see?

I am American as far as my thinking about what patriotism means in the context of being African and American. I am not white and the flag therefore signifies the cross of the Klan, and the killing of my people...  - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

Dark naked African woman is profound in her beauty and the testament of (her) suffering, release, glory and fortitude. Without words she is seen better. - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

Discovery in the shadows cast the quest into a new light. It is a reversal of a process leading towards the origin of a substance we came into the light of Life knowing! This is part of the wonderful understanding childhood is embracing while children play... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/7/18

" … a compelling intelligence within your beauty. Even further, in the eyes, is an intensity that makes sense in relationship to everything else softly elegant!... It is hard to put into words the intangible!" ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories [10/31/18]

Vulnerable. Sasha Derik by Frederic Vire. [October 2018] 

— at Dreams - Studio.

Vulnerability, gentleness, soft persuasion and quiet within stillness are integral to the feminine element. History records Europe's deep and long standing contempt for these attributes and white women, the source of what was and has the power to balance male energies! It is a dark history too entrenched in American thought life...

This photograph suggests a strength often overlooked in the political processes. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11/01/18 

WHITE victim

Marilyn Monroe clip. 

"... Something is askew. She is the first First Lady in my lifetime followed by silence. I have lived in Washington DC many years, grew up on the global stage (my father was a diplomat) and circulated in many circles on my own, and must say: Mrs. Trump is the only First Lady here, and even in dictatorships, whose presence or mention of her name, women fall into contemplative silence. Something is wrong within. It is in her eyes..."

First Lady Melania Trump making an appearance in October of 2017!

a delicate moment.

a moment. 

"... This one instant engaged all that was sensual and feeling an exposure to the authenticity of a soul vulnerable to what in this instance is an unknown! A woman's breasts touches the vibrancy of living forces like no other connector to what sustains life, and nothing is as opposed to abuse as the substance of spirit and health the breast understands as sexual stimuli." - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 3/6/18

Not Seen by Choice.

"Vulnerable shielded soul of a woman tells deep into the consciousness of a people what ails them. . . "

IN the science of sex...

Deep set eyes, the allure of bared pussy, and the slope and feel of a woman's body, like Mitzi, oils the fiber of a man's essence to coil within into something etheric! "How?" is the mystery! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 4/19/18 











There is a standard beyond sex within sex that reaches for the beyond, which entering into a woman is an entrance into the vastness of the universe you cannot escape, the place you came from and return to lured by fragrance, gratitude and need. Pussy may be readily available, but opportunities to explore self during sex and because of sex are the teachers one can chose to learn from, or manipulate for selfish reasons! Being selfish, or earnestly listening to learn from the punany traces a man's integrity, or silhouette's his dark intent to merely get in between a woman's legs! The latter is a form of dark sorcery wedged unconsciously between envy and greed!

These may be mysterious in the nature of the work it requires to grasp, but being ignorant of this is detrimental, at some point, to a woman's soul within her womb; for a man, in certain women, insanity is a possibility! It is a man who can get pussy, but it is a man who is determined by the punany to be a man, or not! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/19/18

Subtle is the silence of poise, quiet is the realization of how a woman, like Mitzi is as beautiful as complex is the understanding of the relationship between awe and divinity, respect and hoping for a chance with her! - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 4/19/18

Gloria Swanson in 1917 as one of the Sennett Bathing Beauties for The Pullman Bride.

This is the actress, Gloria Swanson! It is striking being taken back (if not for an instance) in time, to those times. This bathing suit was probably a radical detour from accepted standards then. 1917 was a mere generation from the Victorian era!... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/19/18
