The strong image of Black women is strong within my thinking about things that need to be thought of in the light and the scope of what their essence embodies within my purposes in life. Intertwined with mine are the story lines of existence we trail from a common point of time, and of geography to a present day condition with limits on our image together, and the actuality of combining forces to be together in theory and practice. It is the together piece that is difficult to ascribe to in personal relationships because of belief, the tasks of survival, and the things, like magic, that often have to be set aside to get ahead, and that is an illusion itself because magic is the elixir, and dreams are the channel, and action is the movement we need to come together and be together. ~ Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.14.13
I understand the depths of shadows and dark brooding lines in there. But, it is the depth of darkness we come from we fear most in the relationships we need and pursue, and there is the fear of what lies deep in the darkness of our surroundings, and within our souls. Those are journeys we must make, steps we must take to see the light darkness leads towards. How else can a dream come to light, a bird come to alight after a long day into the somberness of night time, or the adventurer know the end of a path and the beginning of another? ~ Gregory E.

"What are the symbols she is resting upon? What symbols do our lives rest upon?"
Our foundations rest upon the strength of the symbols we are founded upon as an entity, and the symbols that define and direct our thinking, thus our words themselves are symbols of who we are.
"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks..." my mother often quoted when addressing a problem created by my spoken words. It rivaled against the absurdity of the old saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me!"
As a child I depended upon the words my mother and father shared with me. They entered me, took root and grazed and fed me until I became the words I nurtured." ~ Gregory E. Woods 5.14.13
