Half a Mind is Better Than None

[arisbe]

If I had a few dollars more in my pocket I would have half a mind to mosey over to the Lafayette and watch the ladies (and gentleman) I know do the dance they do. If they did it to live music. If the food weren't so bad. If the academic side of the family didn't find my taste for matters Middle Eastern, these matters at least, deplorable and indeed embarassing.

So.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to church I go!

If he or you or I for that matter went to a
Syrian church the two things might be no more
removed than the distance from the sanctuary to
the church hall, Metropolian Anthony Bashir loved
belly dancing and would generously stuff bills
into the dancers meager costumes as they went by...

The Melkite who hangs with us on Sundays had an Middle Eastern dancer (one doesn't use the "b" word) at his ordination. Some prude who objected was reprimanded by the Bishop.

My friend was introduced to the art by the wife of the Greek priest who owned the studio her flamenco troupe used for rehearsals.
