"I want to
express myself because if I don’t, I feel isolated afterwards; I feel
disconnected, like I don’t belong. Our opinions are not only valuable but
necessary for experiencing the fullness of our being. We are expressive
creatures, designed to communicate in a variety of modes. Just as a wave is an
energetic expression of the ocean and a flower is a glamorous expression of a
plant, each of us has a particular qualities that are unique to us. They
naturally blossom through words, music, bodily expression and what we make with
our hands. Each of us is imbued with innate intelligence and wisdom and we want
to offer it. We want to be seen. If we don’t risk expressing ourselves,
something irreplaceable will be missing from the whole.
Martha
Graham, the great American choreographer, has been quoted as saying, “There is
a great vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you
into action, and 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
or how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours
clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.”"
