Mission Responsible
“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 time, this expression is unique.
If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and will be lost. The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”
– Martha Graham in a letter to Agnes DeMille
…
I like this Martha Graham quote. I like the reminder that I am responsible for my creativity and to birth and share what is uniquely mine with others — my voice, my ideas, my melodies, my words, my “toa-ems,” etc.
Go on, be bold, be brave — be responsible! Make it your mission to share your unique voice, thoughts and insights with the world.
WOW! I really needed this today! Thank you!
