whirling dervish


Last week was Fashion Week here in NYC,
and one day I encountered three photo shoots on my 
morning commute over the Brooklyn Bridge.
This model reminded me of a whirling dervish . . .


 she was beautiful, graceful, and fierce.

and to Wordless Wednesday (on Tuesday).]

    Ooh. The way you caught the light on the head covering.

    The model certainly has my head all a-spin.

    I was surprised to learn that the Whirling Dervishes owe their founding to the Sufi poet Rumi.

    “In your light I learn the art of loving.
    In your beauty, the art of poetry.
    You dance deep within me,
    Unseen by anyone,
    But when I join with your movements
    Our dance becomes this dance.”

    Makes me think of Ms. Havisham.

    Indeed she does look like a whirling dervish... I'll be back visiting more often now.
