a Medicine Wheel teaching story



“Stunning clarity alerts the sense of being present and in the moment. Clarity is also a gift in a relationship with Power. Power in the spoken word clarifies many things weaker vessels need to understand and embrace as their own. You have found your voice and your practice of speaking and sharing yourself empowers people learning about power in their own lives. It is a gift of Clarity you give to people, and you touch kindly.”

AFRICAN WOMAN

African woman's subtle but extraordinary beauty


AFRICAN WOMAN

“All of my life I’ve looked into the faces of black African women and seen the definition of Life. I sensed as a child all I was discovering around me came from original concepts and the first perceptions of Life the African woman passed from child to child. New to the physical plane she facilitated her men’s entrance into a new Earth by the Female principles of birthing and care. Ancient African beauty models the truth of origin and being. Today Beauty suffers from the illusions of a conquering people she once taught, mentored, and pitied from ignorance to knowledge…” ©Gregory E. Woods

sepia beauty: a question of authenticity



Forget all the commentary. We are gazing into a multitude of things in the face of this young woman. See it. Penetrate it. Understand it. Fathom it. Wonder about it, but don't judge it outside the standard she was created from and creates from as she grows into her life.
