martyrdom and bellydancing...

We were talking about martyrdom and the act of relinquishment of self-hood that it models. And then my friend (whose identity I won't disclose) said:

it is kinda like doing the shimmy in belly dance... you gotta learn how to stand right, to position yourself, to hold it... and simultaneously let go so that your fat wobbles

Personally, I wouldn't know... but if she says so!

The mind wobbles, as they say.

can we have a Biblical reference for that? Eph 6:13-14?

Will you include that in your PhD?
Referenced appropriately of course!
