There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
that is translated through you into action, and
because there is only one of you in all time,
this expression is unique. If you block it, it
will never exist through any other medium
and be lost. The world will not have it. It is
not your business to determine how good it
is; nor how valuable it is; nor how it
compares with other expressions. It is your
business to keep it yours, clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open. You do not even
have to believe in yourself or your work. You
have to keep directly open to and aware of
the urges that motivate you. Keep the
channel open. No artist is pleased. There is
no satisfaction at any time. There is only a
queer, divine satisfaction; a blessed unrest
that keeps us marching and makes us more
alive than others.
