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 it will 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 whatever at any time. ...Expand for more
There is only a clear, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others. - Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face...you must do the thing you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt
I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.
I want to free what waits within me
so that what no one has dared to wish for
may for once spring clear
without my contriving.
If this is arrogant, God, forgive me,
but this is what I need to say.
May what I do flow from me like a river,
no forcing and no holding back,
the way it is with children.
Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,
these deepening tides moving out, returning,
I will sing you as no one ever has,
streaming through widening channelsinto the open sea.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart.
Try loving the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books
written in a foreign language. dO not now look for the answers.
They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them.
It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need
to live the question. perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it,
find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
