“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.

And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.

The world will not have it.

It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions.

It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”

— Martha Graham (Emphasis Mine)

 

Everyone is passionate about something.

When we listen closely, to our deepest authentic selves, we can feel it welling up, ready to burst free in glorious self-expression.

When we listen closely, from our deepest wonder, we can hear it singing in others, ready to grace the hills in its beauty.

When we remember that life and living life is itself an art, our avenues of expression grow even more.

And with the channel open, we get to share with the world.
