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.

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 or how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.

~ Martha Graham

my pearls

They get tangled, my pearls
Six of them on the strand

That lay heavy around my neck

Each born of my flesh

But not mine at all.

The row never comes off

It is once more part of my flesh

At times worn raw by abrasion

I want to rip it from my neck,

But that would break me, my soul.


Constant, they lie sharp and beautiful

They slice if I don’t take care

They strangle while I sleep

Their sadness, rage—and worse—indifference, 

burns.


​I wake and they are cool and smooth--

Luminous in the light

More precious than my own heart

I reach my hand to my neck

And feel my blood course through.
