Spiritual Eroticism

This dance makes me feel pretty. Feminine. Alluring again. At first it felt silly. Awkward. Like i was pretending to be something i wasn't. The seductive upward and downward glances made me self conscious. The emphasis on the slow torso moves felt naughty - like i was drawing illicit attention to my breasts. The deep outward bending of the knees left me feeling open and exposed. It was like starting all over again - i was an alien and having to reaquaint my body with another language. But my body remembers now. It's channeling an energy that is connected to the ground. It's moving and emoting with a different, more spiritual flow.
