I ran across this bit of disturbing video on my way around the interwebs. I honestly don't know what the dance teacher was thinking when she put forth this dance. I may be turning into an old fart, but this is waaaay to much for a group of little girls. I think Beyonce wears more than this in her video for the song.
But here's what I find really interesting--isn't the song about getting a guy to make a commitment (put a ring on it) not on flaunting your hoo has in a guys face? I guess that Ralph Waldo Emerson quote is true, the one that says something like, do not talk to me of what you are for what you do thunders in my ears so that I cannot hear. Maybe the lesson is, if you don't want little girl running around in this manner, maybe the big girls ought to be a bit more circumspect.
Here's another video I came upon recently. The focus here is on beauty also, but in a way I appreciate much more. You may not last the whole eight minutes, but some of these images are really incredible.
My only complaint would be the dearth of images of any other than European images (save one or two). The divine feminine knows no time, no race. no age, in the sense that she is all time, all races, all ages, and should be, in my humble opinion, depicted as such. I think all of us, from whatever time, whatever race, whatever age should ensure that all visions of the goddess are included.

my mission
I received my first reiki attunement in 2003. Since then I have gone on to become a Usui/Tibetan and Karuna reiki master teacher.
One of the translations of reiki is holy spirit (and yes, she is a girl). She is my goddess who guides me, heals me and reminds me that the greatest work of the spirit isn't some lofty or far flung thing, it is the every day way we treat ourselves, those we meet and our planet.
I hope you will find something to inspire you here. So get up off the sofa, put on your funky duds and see if the goddess doesn't have a mission for you, too.
