"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... . 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, keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself and your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware of the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."
Martha Graham
So, as I follow my inner prompts, producing lines and colors in paint, my garden as subject for now, I keep Martha Graham's words uppermost in my mind and heart. Do I know where I am going? I do not. I just keep faith in the process.
