keeping the channel open ....

"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  . . ."
- Martha Graham

(wonderful quote to kick off 2013 don't you think ... thank you Marina)

I love that idea of keeping things open. It give air to the voice inside you and reduces the mumbo jumbo on the outside.

That's my plan anyway.
