\u201cThere is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action,\u2028and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. \u2028And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. \u2028The world will not have it. \u2028It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. \u2028It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. \u2028You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. \u2028You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate YOU. \u2028Keep the channel open.\u201d -Martha Graham<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
