there are many ways to dance

Rana Chalabi's painting, "Joyous Dancing," shows one way to dance and Evelyn Neuhaus sitting in her wheelchair shows another. One may be more obvious than the other, but both reflect a joyousness of spirit and freedom of mind. Body-dancing is glorious but so is spirit-dancing...

I took this photo in the "Utopian Visions" group exhibit at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. It will be up through March 29 and is definitely worth seeing. Another exceptional exhibit currently up is 99 year-old social documentary photographer Milton Rogovin's photographs of a Yemeni community from the 1970s in Lackawanna, New York.

Beautiful, I appreciate the figure in the foreground is totally in shadow, deep in thought and appreciation of the vivid images.

This also has an impression of the Dervish dancers.
I love the dancing of the spirit...
The contrast between the brightness of the paintings with the soft shadow where the lady
is, is powerful.
