My Conversation with a Friend Sparked This...

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 be lost.
The world will not have it.

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.
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.

-from “Dance to The Piper” by Agnes DeMille (from Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille)

So, this is my take on it: I always tell the truth, but the present truth will always be slightly (or drastically) different than the past truth or even from the future truth because the circumstances will have changed and they will, consequently, always be different. Original? No, but I still had to figure it out for myself...
