It is not your business to determine<br />how good it is<br />nor how valuable it is<br />nor how it compares with other expressions.<br /><br />It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly<br />to keep the channel open.<br />You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work.<br />You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate YOU.<br /><br />Keep the channel open...<br />No artist is pleased...<br /><br />There is no satisfaction whatever at anytime<br />There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction<br />a blessed unrest that keeps us marching<br />and makes "us" MORE alive than the others.<br /><br />Martha Graham<br />( - a letter to Agnes De Mille-)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4012849949711396537-116971142467000821?l=marthagrahamletter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Joseph Giannasiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15136324111079825442noreply@blogger.com0
