There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening
that is translated through you into actions,
and
because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And
if you block it,
it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. It is not your
business to determine
how good it is, nor how valuable, or 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 to the urges that
motivate you.
Keep the channel open. - Martha Graham
