“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action…”
Martha Graham
This is important to consider:
Within me there is a quickening
Inside me.
Deep inside all the secret and public places that combine to make me, me, there is a quickening.
Within you there is a quickening
Inside you.
Deep inside all the secret and public places that combine to make you, you there is a quickening.
What happens with the quickening is because
There lives a pulse, a breath, a point of conception and the space where that becomes something because we finally choose, we finally choose to shake things up enough. I finally chose to say yes, you finally choose to say yes, we finally choose to consistently say yes even when things feel off or wobbly or unsettling.
The only real choice is Yes.
Are you choosing yes?
Are you saying yes to taking action, to creating what it is you are meant to create?
I am open to saying yes to this unique form of energy that was issued to me through the divine library that said “it is my turn to be made into form, this one-of-a-kind groupings of biology and theology right here right now this is it.”
I am choosing yes.
I’m hoping and praying and crossing my fingers you will say yes, too.
That time I almost died, my heart told me to keep showing up. To just be dutiful. To show up and create and prepare to get messier than ever before.
Because there is an engine, a track, a parachute, wings, and a lot of laughter waiting to happen when you agree, say yes, open yourself. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Because, why, our mission is here and….
There lives a pulse, a breath, a point of conception and the space of quickening that is within you.
Right here, right now, that brought you to read these exact words at this exact time.
