Mmm.
There is a vitality, a life force, a
quickening
That is translated through you into
action
And because there is only one of you in
all time
This expression is unique. If you
block it
It will never exist through any other
medium
and be
lost.
The world will not hear
it.
It is not your business to determine
how good it is;
Nor how valuable it
is;
Nor how it compares with other
expressions.
It is your business to keep it
yours,
clearly and
directly,
To keep the channel
open.
You do not even have to believe in
yourself
or your
work.
You have to keep open and aware directly
to the urges
that motivate
you.
Keep the channel
open.
No artist is
pleased.
There is no satisfaction whatever at
any time.
There is only a queer, divine
dissatisfaction,
A blessed unrest that keeps us
marching
And makes us more alive than the
others.
--Martha
Graham to Agnes De Mille
Cheers to Andy for that one.
