Dance Woman, Dance.....

I leave you all with this beautiful image of my amazing young friend, and her friends, dancing on stage in Tehran, during the Fajr Theater Festival's closing ceremonies in Tehran last February. This performance was described as "harakaat nemaayeshi", which is the "Islamic" way of describing dance (raqs). You know how that goes, if you call it something else, it will be less sinful! Pictures were taken by Omid Salehi in Tehran, and if you want to look at all 20 pictures in the series, you can see them here: http://www.iranian.com/Salehi/2003/February/Dance/ . Have a good weekend.

(I know Mehran tried to teach me how to avoid putting the entire URL here, but I didn't learn, I'm afraid!)

I am a citizen of this planet, who believes there is a purpose and mission to our existence. I pursue that mission and try to enjoy every lesson, every day, and every last drop of the pain and joy we drink when we live. I live a mostly regret-free life, with each failure quickly becoming a valuable experience and something to laugh about, and every success something about which to be thankful and celebrative. I do all of this in and around my beloved Berkeley, California.
