Recently back from Kripalu, (a Berkshires treasure), I recall being seated at the end of a divine afternoon Yoga class located in the Annex. The sun was setting outside, the sky holding hues of pink and blue as the backdrop for the massive tree outside, fluttering hundreds, maybe thousands, of its' branches like feathered eyelashes against its' sturdy skin. The teacher Allison, read the following quote:

Vitality - Martha Graham wrote to Agnes DeMille

"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. The world will not have it. it is not your business to determine how good it is not how valuable nor compares with other expressions.

It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."

How inspiring.

In this space, I am choosing to pass it on.
