Dance Mean Discipline

More From Martha Graham

I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption ... for myself, as no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. the liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality. we objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom.

I set as my goal to be the best dancer i could be. not the most famous, or the highest paid dancer, just the best i could be. out of this discipline came great freedom and calm.

The woman in charge of costuming assigned us our outfits and gave us a lecture on keeping things clean. she held up a calendar and said, "ladies, you know what this is. use it. i have scraped enough blood out from the crotches of elf knickers to last me the rest of my life. and don't tell me, 'i don't wear underpants, i'm a dancer.' you're not a dancer. if you were a real dancer you wouldn't be here. you're an elf and you're going to wear panties like an elf.

I consider myself an actress first, a dancer second, and a singer third. why? because the dancer needs a reason to move-that's the actor informing the dancer. so i worked on my acting and gradually developed a singing voice.

Discipline means to prevent everything in your life from being filled up. discipline means that somewhere you're not occupied, and certainly not preoccupied. in the spiritual life, discipline means to create that space in which something can happen that you hadn't planned or counted on.
Spiritual Mean Space
Freedom! that was the thought that sung in her heart so that even though the future was so dim, it was iridescent like the mist over the river where the morning sun fell upon it. freedom! not only freedom from a bond that irked, and a companionship which depressed her; freedom, not only from the death which had threatened, but freedom from the love that had degraded her; freedom from all spiritual ties, the freedom of a disembodied spirit, and with freedom, courage , and a valiant unconcern for whatever was to come.

The heavenly blessing is to be delivered from the law, sin and death; to be justified and quickened to life: to have peace with god; to have a faithful heart, a joyful conscience, a spiritual consolation; to have the knowledge of jesus christ; to have the gift of prophecy, and the revelation of the scriptures; to have the gift of the holy ghost, and to rejoice in god.

They try to say what you are, spiritual or sexual? they wonder about solomon and all his wives. in the body of the world, they say, there is a soul and you are that. but we have ways within each other that will never be said by anyone.
