Requires Thought.

Slave marriage taking place. I remember this dance.

"During the time of slavery, not every hour was a miserable hour. While alone with their families, slaves did attempt to live a regular lifestyle. They cooked, cleaned, and fed their families and made sure that everyone was doing what they had to in order to not get sold. One thing they did to keep each others spirits up was tell jokes and mimic their masters and mistresses. This is what began black comedy within the United States." - Cedric Freeman 

Dave Chappelle's insight.

"I agree with what you have said; we must learn that if we do not agree with other's lifestyles, do not judge negatively what is seen or viewed. None of us are perfect and communications is very important, in the realization that words can damage if not used in a caring way. We are indeed our brothers' keepers. With that in mind, with "love" and loving someone, you do not have to agree with everything they may say or do, because love is being honest with the individual simply because you do truly love them and not to agree to satisfy them or because you feel obligated to agree; We must learn to be true and honest "BUT" in such a way as to show "love and honesty" in such a way that others see and feel the sincerity within us!!!" - Barbara Tharpe

A Penetration

10 perfectly built women. 

Elegant older women have a cause to their sensual overtones that can lean towards restoration. It has a lot to do with maturity developed over time undoing the actions of ignorant youth! Pitifully, aging becomes terrifying in Euro-America for unfortunate and unnatural reasons. Youth is ignorant. In the U.S., the culture operates under the belief the individual can dispel the myth of aging and can somehow defeat it and death. I understand the history of European thought and culture. I am not enough to shift consciousness in a materialistic and misogynist culture. I can only contribute to the awakening. There needs to be a shift in consciousness in the States and a dying to the assumptions of superiority. Without various types of dying and deaths will occur until only our inventions and immorality will be remembered and heralded!

All of these elements should point the collective and the individual towards the children and the unborn. It won't because of the rudiments of Western theology and ideology.

When Dr. King spoke: Power of a People's Pain.

When Dr. King spoke: "If you can't fly, then run, if you can't run, then walk, if you can't walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward" I heard the enforcement of the laws of purpose, and felt at the time what it meant to Colored folks. Being young, and being old and a Negro in those times held a stress level that strangled dreams. It killed by fear and emboldened by necessity a killer instinct in others, and made the leaders arise from within the caste system created by the fears white lives, who developed themselves into monsters or tolerant moderates, afraid to do what was right in the sight of God!

Dr. King, I recall, was despised by so many ministers, but I saw fear of changing the white people around them alive in the purposes the church served in Colored neighborhoods. No one killed like white folks! I remember how television delivered these messages from Martin Luther King Jr. the way word spread through the forests into the towns and cities where 'Members' lived. I remember old people talking about the way storytellers told the old stories to the children around fires in the dark of night! The fires became radio, radio became television and television became the internet, where the family circles disappeared into the mist of separate rain drops.

Now, today broken circles pretend to bring people together. Pieces of a dream are no more effective than broken bowls. The old ways of fighting the demons are the methods to bring the worst of killers to their comeuppance, to trail, to the courts of law, but not the law created by the killers and framed by the beneficiaries of their brutal murders and acquisitions by force and terror.

It is less and it is more our Ancients speaking the old truths our interactions with those from Europe stripped from our knowing of the deep that gave Dr. King his voice... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/18/18 

Touch, a touch.

Monica Bellucci, a study of gentleness to breasts, heart to soul, eye to details within. . .

This mystery I know: Some elements tells their own stories, some gentleness releases judgment from the marrow of the bones of indifference and some women's mere look into a matter changes the tone of grief, the mood from wanting to take, to needing to give. There is no easy way to describe what was meant to be felt. There are words, but words meant for creation cannot capture essence the way a look can create a force within... - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/15/18

"Helen Mirren as a young woman! I would not have stood up and took notice to her then, the way her older years engraved beauty into womanhood continually startles me!' - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 4/15/18

"So that's what she looked like! I never was so struck by Helen Mirren until she became an older woman! It is the reversible, but maturity has a deepening!. . ." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 

in thought, in reflection, in deed.

Isabella, in thought, as a thought amongst those living introspective tones we feel, is part of flow we want to be a practice. A healing practice is to supersede the lust to see the woman's place in divine order. How a woman fits into divinity a man can grasp is in the concept of beauty within Creation coming from the words that express and create Life.

If Life is a series of agreements it is Word that is Life.

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.

Pretty sepia tone, slim lines, pleasant face holding a feel, a sense of who her presence is,

is not as an object, but a force becoming. It is marvelous the growth of youth.

Teach in Life.

Who said those words? It is important to know. People's stories are important and to those needy the most, and those close to the person who reveals him or herself by word, and work; is a need to observe the trail that led to revelation!

For those curious: what led a person to discover within themselves this sense of self, and place in the worlds surrounding themselves:

"Only as high as I reach can I grow,
Only as far as I seek can I go,
Only as deep as I look can I see,
Only as much as I dream can I be!"

We may never know. What we will know is when we arrive at this state of being present within the great mysteries of this life!

A Love Story Reaching Out, Within!

Beyond words.  

Beyond words is the point of mystery.

Soft light in an old kitchen would begin a review of what elements are in place not to disturb the tranquility of space between what is serene and beautiful to behold and what is subject to the sense of being present in a moment filled with etheric qualities. How one misses the point where elements fly into a room to mystify an elemental science to open eyes to what within is important to know about a single woman in a room flooded by light is to connect with an element of one's internal being that struggles to not reveal its form when lust and desire overcomes a man's senses.

It is a quiet force taking us back and forth between sensations not unlike reverence when you get down into what moves our souls thus in the presences of beauty beyond words. It is a deep mysterious thing beyond words that thrust Life into Earth, into our formlessness, and stirred the visions in quests to remember our before. It is all beyond words. Is it not? If not, then I didn't know you well enough because we lost the connection, the holy connection that drew me to you through the space of eternity still a part of your soul I love so much.

Admiring former Playboy model, Abby Parece, William B. Johnson has ways of 'seeing' her ranked far above the usual banter most men give seeing her photographs. Struck by the colors, I guess, and other factors he kept to himself he wrote, "I am always ready for a swim with the most beautiful Mermaid on earth, now we can make it better, if you wish to have legs, wish it come on land and we can share conversation and wine with dinner, candlelight of course! You well need to get out of that swim suit first?"

MEN: what they say about you!

Abby Parece's beauty.

"From the underneath of your chin to valley of your breasts, I would kiss thee! I never stop dreaming of the best way to hold you, all of your positions are breath taking and for each one, I wish I was there to hold, touch, support and please you beyond anything experienced before! To you my dream weaver!" ~ William B. Johnson [Feb. 23, 2017]

"The simultaneous experience of confusion and sanity, or being asleep and awake, is the realization of co-emergent wisdom. Any occurrence in one’s state of mind—any thought, feeling, or emotion—is both black and white. It is both a statement of confusion and a message of enlightened mind." ~ Willie T.

A found Voice!

A Black woman, who speaks from powers within, with Power to forces against the resistance to subjugation without hesitation fears no one. There isn't a worthy opponent. There is only the wrong to be unwritten, the foul deeds turned over to show their underbelly and there are the Hunters, the fighters capable of administering the death blow!

These are my words!

A Black woman, who speaks with Power!!!!

Sense of Women

Words of Michelle Obama mimicked...

I agree and believe Mrs. Trump copied Mrs. Obama, for reasons neither will state publicly; but I acknowledge both are women, in a country that fundamentally and historically does not put stake in women's worth, or place value in their advise. Both were speaking from a woman's place of heart the patriarchal structure of American society cannot stand for, with, or put enough stock in to stop fighting, hating, taking and colonizing! We, as a nation, are not the Iroquois Confederacy!

"We have to use the forces that gave us world power; so what sense does it make to change that?" millions said when the last elections put Trump into office.

WATER vs. EUROPEAN THOUGHT

Body source of power, of water, might and soundness is an intangible light from within.

- Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories

Jan. 10, 2017  

We have a lot of profound elements to weigh and consider as terrorist thought processes at work within the mindset and tradition of Europeans has dragged the entire world into a ghostly, and terrifying state of affairs with their fundamental contempt for women and the essence of the feminine. Feminine energy and water are linked as the essences men need to live, and the Earth, our Mother needs to nurture all of us and teach us from this source that holds all memories, and deep stirring truths! We will never have this analysis as a nation because as individuals we think like whites taught us with our heads believing their concepts are the only way to resolve problems created by a mentality interested only in the acquisition of things and power over Nature.

As long as we insist land and water are property and do not yet know that the heart is the seat of knowledge and the mind isn't we are destined to follow along the lines Europe drew and shaped for the rest of us to follow. It won't be long before the prophecies we love to quote become reality because we believe prophecies are fixated events about to happen. They are and they are not. The power of prophecy is in the words. Words start the process to become prophecy. It is the word that changes the momentum of events moving with and from the energies of original intent that can be changed at any point intent changes creating its own force, and will and momentum. Not understanding these things we are doomed to a predictable outcome enslaved and terrified of telling the truth to the powers of the whites and their corporations and political structures running our lives, molding our religions and understanding of our natures. ~ Gregory E.
