“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening 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. The world will not have it.
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, 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 whatsoever 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 to Agnes de Mille

That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility.

THE VISION OF FIRST THOUGHT
To become an artist, first there has to be a sense of vision taking place in one’s mind. Such vision comes from a state of mind that has no beginning and no end. It is very present, on the spot. We could call that vision “first thought best thought.” When that happens, there is no struggle.

“I’ve had sex with lots of guys, but I think I did it mostly out of fear. I was scared not to have somebody putting his arms around me, so I could never say no. That’s all. Nothing good ever came of sex like that. All it does is grind down the meaning of life a piece at a time.”
― Haruki Murakami

helpful words from a wise friend: “Identification causes anger, which is usually quite a waste when it comes to injustice. You can do a research and easily find how frustration and anger weakens you. In some strange and awkward way, this terrible situation (severe sex discrimination) allows the ones who want to grow and transform do exactly that”.
