why we belly dance

Do you know what happens when an Arabian woman dances? She does not dance, she protests, she loves, she cries, she makes love, she dreams, she goes away from her reality, to her own world, where love is really meant and she does not want to come back, because that is her reality. Armand Nassery, writer and filmmaker.

ACT TWO

My gratitude carries me… an undercurrent of inspiration guides. Even when I stop pointing with the stream, peaked for success… even when I crumble up into a ball and allow my sweet tears to blend with the salty energy… even still I am afloat and moving forward- driven by heart and rolling with the tide… I tumble along. But today my eyes gaze up, thru the marbled blue I see an expanse of opportunity. There is no horizon, only the continuation of my bountiful journey. When I reflect, my heart is heavy with the forks that seemed to be misguided dreams. I look over my shoulder – there is nothing there. For everything I have is ahead of me, and everything ahead of me is mine to have. I own the greatest gift- endless provision… and as the bread the fish, it will never stop multiplying as long as I give it away. Come with me on my journey, For what great manifestations that awaits are already here at hand.

Advice for a friend…

well you cant work out then- accept it….

you either let it go to work itself out naturally or throw yourself on the ground for people to take advantage of you

being an enabler is very unhealthy for YOU

Pain is a great motivator. I must remember that God has me in palm of hand.  Sadness / awareness is a gift. God is building me.

Well ive been hurt alot and taken advantage of?

If letting her go do her thing is painful its ok- its better than taking “the easy way out” and demeaning yourself.

Showing i can stand alone is good?

NONONO SHOWING is nothing… all showing means is “i want other ppl to see that i stand alone so they like me”- its fake its a lie a FACADE

BEING is what you want, not faking- you can stand alone- period, whether someone sees it or not

I wanna work out with her though but i have to show i wont bend over backwards…

stop saying that- you dont have to sHOW ANYTHING

Just don’t bend-over backwards- showing is fake, its a subtle way to try to MANIPULATE A CERTAIN OUTCOME, it is not acceptance.

playing hard to get- is technically a lie, a mask and game a show, you need to just BE- not show

you dont not bend over backwards- instead of your pretending to not bend over backwards

you take care of you, love yourself- treat yourself with dignity, honor, respect and integrity

and God will take care of the rest

look you will be fine, love something let it go- if it was meant to be it will come back to you.

if you are confused on any of these concepts- look up co dependency…

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

i will survive

i had to see it- the betrayal, full and fierce- unhindered and alive. I just couldnt run away when I knew the only thing I could change was how I dealt with it and might not have this opportunity for a long time. And I’m ok. I cried and cried and for the first time I said out loud I love him- and it didn’t feel as true. I have nothing left to say.

I know I am good enough- and I certainly deserve better than this. I hope he is happy because he has vanquished me from his memory as if it never happened- and Im okay with that. The intimacy I once felt for someone I once knew has died. I bury that beautiful and honorable man along side the dreams and hopes for an amazing life we conjured up together and I walk away. That person I saw today- I don’t know, I certainly don’t respect or trust- but I need nothing from him anymore, so it doesnt matter. That stranger can go on and live his life and I hope he gets what he deserves. I hope the Gods are gracious enough to give him far greater than he deserves and that he may find peace with the Universe.

I am thankful that today I love myself more than yesterday- but not as much as tomorrow. I am beautiful and perfect. I am being taken care of by a force far greater than myself and the sky is not the limit- it is the beginning. I will poison myself no more with my regret and resentment. I will no longer commit emotional suicide. I want to live- free and victorious, honorable and dignified.

I can’t do it along. Thank you to all of you that have carried me through. I step into ACT TWO.

Day 94

I made it. How ingrained and now so necessary my daily meditation is just to make it through the day. My body feels the energetic touch, my mind is not so much of a dark looming cloud- but more of a dusty mist. My image in the mirror is someone I like. My heart… my fragile human heart; still beats with almost a lazy syncopation as it tries to play catch up.
tears still flow, even amidst grateful laughter.

I have to BELIEVE the promises… in my marrow’s, vessel’s, cell’s, atoms’.

Ps 138:3
In the day when I cried thou answered-st me, and strengthened-st me with strength in my soul.
Ps 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made

I- I will survive
