CREATIVE EXPRESSION

“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 time, this expression is unique. And if you

block it, it will never exist through any other medium and

will be lost.”

― Martha Graham

yourself.”
