"There is 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 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
Nothing so accurately reflects the vitality and sense of need to continuously create and move as this statement by Martha Graham. My need ... no... my obsession is to continuously move and create and touch. If I stand still, my head feels like it's going to explode from all the images that float in my head. If I do not create, I live in a nightmare to which insanity screams at the top of her voice.
