Keeping the Channel Open

“There is vitality, a lifeforce, 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.

You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open…There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the other.”  - Martha Graham

Value Yourself

"When you try to value yourself for being the best in something, you are bound to fail. Even Olympic champions are the best only for a few years.

Growing

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another.

Falling Down

An old man once said, "There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living." - from Bill Opava (Escambia High School Class of 1976)
