Vitality

“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 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. ”
Martha Graham
This passage speaks to me of ‘stepping out of the way’ and allowing life to move thru me.
It reminds me to not hesitate, second doubt, hold onto anything for too long…
The objective of yoga is to remove the obstacles and enhance the flow of life force thru the body… i am constantly reminded when feeling stagnate in body or mind, to keep my thoughts moving, keep my body moving, stay open to the next moment – because that is all we really have
