Vitality ---- A Poem by Martha Graham









There is vitality,
a life force that is translated through you into action.
And because 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.
It is not your business to determine how good it is,
or how valuable it is,
or how it compares with others expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours,
to keep the channel open.
You do not even have to believe 
in yourself
or your works. 
You have to keep an open mind
and be aware directly to the urges that motivate you.

- Great thanks from The Life and Work of Martha Graham (1894 - 1991), born in Pennsylvania and lived in California, Dancer, Choreographer and devoted Teacher, a true pioneer to modern dance and liberator of life.
