Welcome back…

During a discussion, impulses being the topic, a friend directed me toward this quote:

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. 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 open and aware directly 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

Your impulses, light and dark, are, well… you.  And when it comes to creativity, you must acknowledge and learn to wield every one of them.  Leave the channel open for this expression to come through.  Don’t think.  Don’t control it.  Otherwise, this unique you is well.. lost to the universe.
