Ife’s lyrical movement expression of an alternative perspective on our hue’m’n awakening.
The BackStory
It was the year 2012 when Ife first read the book Blood, Bread, and Roses by Judy Grahn. In this book, Judy Grahn presents what she calls the Metaformic theory, which is a physically referential perspective on our hue’m’n awakening as a species.
This awakening, she posits, was by way of a wom’n menstruating in a time before we were hue’m’n, which means it was a time before we had words to describe experiences. She posits that, in bleeding in these times we had to separate ourselves from our band, going high in a tree or deep in a sand pit. We had to stay quiet until the bleeding stopped. And in these times, she envisions us looking up and seeing the dark sky and noticing that it was dark whenever these bleeding times would occur. (In this being before words or ideas, we wouldn’t have separated the concept of sun an moon, so it would have simple been noticing when there was no light in the sky.) She also envisioned us seeing other wom’n having that same experience in our bands. In this way, our minds linked red thighs, dark skies, and other wombs.
Her theory is that we used this sense of a connection with our bleeding bodies and the rhythms of life to create metaforms. These were methods of integrating the abstraction of time as our first thought as budding hue’m’n’s.
Ife studied with Judy Grahn directly when she was in her Masters degree for Women’s Spirituality (with eventually became an emphasis of a Transpersonal Psychology degree). In conversation with Judy Grahn, Ife realized that the perspective that was presented in the book could continue to evolve. Particularly, the idea that the metaforms we first created were somehow sabotaged by later metaforms that were sprouted from our first experience of scarcity within this novel hue’m’n mindset. A scarcity that pushed us to take our stories out of the anchor of menstruation and all of it’s associated qualities of woman, earth, and darkness and pushed us instead to create opposing metaforms of another world where it’s always light, there is no blood/death, and it’s ran by a man. However, Ife realized that this next step was simply our developing a capacity to abstract in space (whereas before it was time) and she realized that it was a necessary step and our evolution. With our present step being our capacity to see space and time, get a birds eye view of our impact on our home, and now we have the novel opportunity to choose to co-create from a different place. One that goes deeper then our reactions to our environments, and utilizes the physically referential, universal, and primal experience we all had being nourished in the greater wholeness of the womb to co-create our reality beyond our processes of boxing and judging that was created by the journey of our metaforms.

Huestory
Another way of writing the word “history” or “herstory” that is making the following points:
We are all hue’s on a beautiful earth spectrum: rich soil, golden clay, and warm sand.
We are all children of the womb. The womb as a Sacralizing Source is based in the experience we all had being gestated by the fruits of a woman and a man’s union and is, thus, an equalizing force.
Wellness that blooms from within.
A wellsprings in nature blooms from the earth, that why we use this metaphor in this regard. We also think that something that blooms from within is also the very definition of a sovereign act. So, for this reason, we consider the Wellspring the embodiment of sovereign wellness.
Spectrum of Hue’m’nity
Another way to write the word: “humanity” that is communicating two points:
Hue:
We are all people of color. A beautiful earth spectrum of rich soil, golden clay, and warm sand.
‘M’N / “Am in.”
We can choose to anchor into the creation imprint of our original gestation: being nourished within the wholeness of the womb and co-create a reality where we are held within a womb-like wholeness in this moment.
