“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
I am a mere
droplet
in a bucket
a teeny tiny
minnow in a grand ocean,
I am a blip
a hiccup
in a rippling eternity
yes, I am very small
potatoes
this limited and flawed
(sometime fraud)
spud:
ephemeral, forgettable
sometimes a dud, and also
a paradox
because like you
I am potential
pulsing transition
a limited edition
ineffable, not replicable
embodied possibility
and with acrobatic hearts
we can cartwheel kindness
spangle dreams
cascade grace
across a rippling eternity
changed forever
by our echoing trace
(how ’bout them French fries?)
From the archives. Written awhile ago…and the message bears repeating. However limited and inconsequential we may feel we are, we and what we have to offer are wondrously unique. And we need to share ourselves with an always hungry world, as modern dance pioneer Martha Graham famously advised. Shine on!
