(World) Sisterhood* - happy discoveries

 
The more we search for BEAUTY, the more we find it.
It was with no big surprise that the pieces of this puzzle started to organize by themselves and fit their rightful places: the Oriental Dance community around the world is not just about a group of people loving the same dance and culture that gave birth to it quite in the same manner that Oriental Dance is not just about movements.  
 
Women (and some men too) feel attracted to this dance as if it was a magnet we can hardly explain. They feel it gives direction to their lives, increases their self-knowledge, self-esteem and personal empowerment and offers them a kind of pleasure that no one else can offer them: even LOVE starts with ourselves.
 
Besides the Life changing perks I´ve witnessed along the way, this magical* dance has the power to UNITE WOMEN and create a kind of SISTERHOOD I deeply believe in: more than a net of women with the same interest: we´re speaking about a net of SISTERS who support, rebuild, love and push each other forward and higher. This ancient dance whispers, slowly but surely:
 
-You know what?! We don´t need to keep fighting, betraying and perpetuating the "feminine" that sees women as enemies of each other. To hell with the ones who push us to see our sisters as "the oponent to destroy". IF WE UNITE - when we unite - our lives will completely change. The way you see and treat other women is the way you see and treat yourself.
 
Absolutely GORGEOUS phenomenon and how lucky I am to be at the heart of it***.
Oh, man/woman...how lucky! I´m not even counting the number of FANTASTIC WOMEN I´m gathering around me. They may say I inspire them and give them strength but they have no idea how much they inspire and strenghten me.
Grateful for this - still shy but growing - SISTERHOOD: one of those treasures of the misunderstood ORIENTAL DANCE SACRED BOX.
