MOTHER'S nipple

Monique Washington

Ah, that touches me deeply, Monique. My first wife nursed our third child, Vania for 18 months. The breasts created and added intangibles to her beauty and power as a child and now a woman. I remember being breast fed. I talk about it with Mommy. The bond, the specialness of it is beyond words. I have not read anyone's comments yet, but I will point out the beauty of you breast feeding your child is the powerful story between Mary and Jesus, and most women and their children up until recent history. 

As a father I encourage you. I love the testament of truth, and power expressed suckling on Mother's breast. Thank you for sharing a moment of revelation with us, Monique.

DON'T LET OUR TROOPS FEEL FORGOTTEN ANYMORE!

THE TROOPS' STUFF IS BUMPER STICKER DEEP"

"As much as we have worked hard to try to help our troops feel appreciated and supported while deployed overseas, we're not doing enough! Too many of our troops feel that Americans don't care about the mission or the men and women sacrificing for it!

"We're bored with it," said Matthew Farwell, who served in the U.S. Army for five years including 16 months in eastern Afghanistan, where he sometimes received letters from grade school students addressed to the brave Marines in Iraq — the wrong war.

"We all laugh about how no one really cares," he said. "All the 'support the troops' stuff is bumper sticker deep." - NBC 8/22/2012

Never before in our nation's history have we as a nation put almost 12 years of time, effort, money, and most precious of all, American lives lost, into an effort like this conflict in Afghanistan. And yet, here today, we've lost the energy and fervor with which we supported our troops before. They noticed.

We must do better. We can't let this be OUR legacy as a generation. When this war began, and the anti-war protesters took to the streets, we stood by our troops, we got our American flags out and rallied to support the troops in the streets because we wanted to show the world that this would not be a repeat of the shameful way Americans treated their troops during Vietnam.

We didn't want the War on Terror to end up being a repeat of that sad chapter in American history. Now we're in danger of allowing that to happen to our troops in Afghanistan. We must show our support to correct this trend immediately!" - Minerva G. Newton

"IT'S SHAMEFUL the way we treat them, it really is....That's why I posted Slash doing CIVAL WAR ....they are treated like a "human grocery store".... Tell it. We had to petition the so called public servants to clean up the mess at Ft. Bragg....our fighting men living in deplorable conditions WHEN THEY GOT HOME to base. I call on these polititans to remember that these men have the same hopes and dreams and loves that they do, and deserve at least what a lower middle class person would have in their own homes. Maybe the private sector could go in and sponsor a row of these soldiers homes for renovation....Good letter... THANKS for sharing." - Pamela Pickens Underwood

"So true what you say. For sure they do have the same dreams that we all do. It is certainly a shame they way they get treated after they get home.
Here in Florida at least they are building some homes for those that come home after being hurt. It is not everywhere but in certain towns.
A note, this past week a soldier was seen looking at where his house is being built. This soldier lost his leg in the war. His spirits were high. knowing that he was being appreciated by getting this new home.
Love you Pam, my sweetie, blessed be, Minerva♥"

Bori, as you know words like this hurt my ears and heart. Sometimes I wish I didn't know so much about the contradictions and history of your concerns. It is the Mother's Heart speaking here. That sound is hardest on the senses of right and wrong, but this culture does not respect it, and somehow claims not to hear it. Countless young men are brought into a life of crime, and each learns not to regard, hear, or acknowledge their own Mother's Heart Songs. Their actions show it. It is the same for soldiers.

Our country's leaders put it out there early in the invasion of Iraq. They made it very clear Mother's Heart Songs had no validity in their decision-making process. Remember the woman who camped out in front of Camp David, the silent Code Pink protests in front of the House? There were many women in black walking near the White House in silent protest with their Mother's Heart Songs clear and in the air. Nothing. Soldiers intuit this things, and the most sensitive ones I am sure have spoken on it, but the military culture does not give credence to those sentiments. It is a cold hard fact of life. But those songs have to fill the air. They have to be sung. Balance has to come into existence, and it will be birthed into this madness someday. The songs of Mother's Hearts has that Medicine.

I hear the songs in your words, Minerva. I hear them. I read these words yesterday, and tried to shut them out of my head, but I couldn't. It is morning here, and the first thing I did was write these words before I began my prayers for a new day. I love you, and encourage you to sing those songs in your words. - Gregory

"Seduction is a powerful tool. It is composed of Fire and Water, and can, in a moment, wax cold as Ice, or pour through defensive moats with slow mercurial force until the defensive barriers are welcoming arms!” - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

"Warrior Women are also magikal off the battlefield of Life ♥ whatsoever seduction is, there is a deeper inner Realm of BEingness which awakens a Sacred Womans' Wild Soul and Wild Flesh'd hinterlands ...Her places and time honoured memorials of Life initiations ...all the steps of our Her Wild Soul communion which led Her here ...kept Her whole and Holy woven and enwisened ♥ married to Her Twin Souls of Lifegiving and Lifetaking waters." - Mereana Taki, June 18, 2012

“Seduction is a life skill, a sacred art. In a normal woman's hand, and in the hands of a Sacred Woman the powers of seduction speak a language irresistible to the will of men, and men in the rage of dark emotions will discover a Sacred Women's ability to cool, or stir fires. Seduction, the art form, controls a man while convincing him he is in control. Seduction is a powerful tool. It is composed of Fire and Water, and can, in a moment, wax cold as Ice, or pour through defensive moats with slow mercurial force until the defensive barriers are welcoming arms!” - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories May 17, 2012

a clever retort...

You spoke well on a post I read. On March 13, 2012 you posted this to a cat named Eric who went on and on about little of nothing. I dug what you said, and want to remember it as best I can.

"Eric, one piece of advise... When promulgating your esoteric cogitations, or articulating your superficial sentimentalities and amicable, philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a clarified conciseness, a compacted comprehensibleness, coalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descantings and unpremeditated expatiations have intelligibility and veracious vivacity, without rodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity ventriloquial verbosity, and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double-entendres, prurient jocosity, and pestiferous. profanity, obscurant or apparent!! In other words, talk sensibly, truthfully, purely. Keep from slang; don't put on airs; say what you mean; mean what you say. And, don't use big words!" Looooool... God is great!" - Jamal Romeo Santiago Shabazz  

DICHOTOMY

The boy in this story acted out his disconnections. He is going to jail unable to trace the lines between his projections of love, and his disdain for the women who love him. It is the first thing that surfaces in every group of boys and men I've facilitated in the Black and Hispanic community. The inability of young boys, and men to see their mother's pain over their choices, and reform their ways has become a mark of manhood in neighborhoods across the country. - Gregory E.

DARK SKIN 10

DARK SKINNED WOMEN

The people from the Land of the Blacks brought the spiritual sciences to the Earth Walkers. Bestowing gift after gift to the People in the spirit of a Giver it should not be a surprise why the Land of the Blacks is bereaved of its former glory. Today, Black People are a tribal people by blood and heritage, and the Chief has been replaced by the Messiah. We have absorbed all the contradictory energies of White people to the degree it is difficult to tell the difference between us, and our ancestors can barely tell us a part from our conquerors.

My father was right when he said, "Black People own their tragedies!" But I've learned to follow the lead of my upbringing and spend a lot of time in the wider world. I can't carry that burden of today's dark angst. I've learned over the years to cheer myself with all of the light and brilliance of Black America and the rest of our Diaspora. There is an inexhaustible supply of it, and it will keep me going at the oddest times into the magical spheres of creation and creativity we were originally known and respected for.. The attendant fears of the Black people in the Americas, and elsewhere are too unpredictable an animal so healers have to work in shifts shifting energies among the lame and broken of heart and spirit. It is difficult work but it is work necessary. Peoples from the different races now have Medicines Black people desperately need, but false pride and a possessive spirit keep many from sitting in sacred spaces outside of the Church, and so they die, and their last breath is inhaled by their children's children and passed to the next and the next.  - Gregory E.
