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 of 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.

You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware 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

Living well is the best revenge

As of today I have been alive for 31 years. Typically I’d have more to write about today but after last year’s milestone birthday, 31 is a bit underwhelming. I have had lots of reflections about getting older lately and I feel positive about it; all I can do is try to make less mistakes and be a better person. Most of all, I’m proud that I’ve somehow avoided a criminal record, children, diseases and regrets after 31 years of living well.
