Great Quote
I've been meaning to put this quote up for some time, then . . . er, forgot. Thanks, again, to
soniag for putting it up in her notes from the SCBWI-LA conference!
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. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and it will be lost. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable, 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
Doesn't that just take your breath away? I LOVE those words so much, I've put a copy next to me on my desk. And I might just do like Ursula Nordstrom and make a wallet-size version to carry around with me.
So go forth and keep those channels open, dear peeps!
