“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 it will be lost.

The world will not have it.

It is not for you to determine how good it is,

nor how valuable,

nor how it compares with other expression.

It is for you to keep it yours clearly and directly. You must keep the channel open."

-Martha Graham
