  “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

  The American indians had a war dance & and song; they had a dance and song for death. Many cultures have dances for many things, but in sum, it seems to me, dance and song set you souls to motion and thus set it free!

  “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination 
  and life to everything.”

  On the converse, when I’ve felt pure terror, the best way to describe it is with the analogy of being caught in a blizzard. You freeze up , quite literally. You feel your options closing down in all there ways and time is nipping at your heals; the burning , tingling sensation and your body and mind are not cooperating. Your whole world , survival, comes down to keeping that ember inside you alive. you’re up against a cliff , your wits in full, and pure faith and or stored beliefs are thrown on to your ember and your will ignites.

In WW2, the soldiers used to say after being saved and emerging from a battle, we have angels on our shoulders .

Storms subside, and it’s at these moment, you feel most alive.

“You only live twice: 

Once when you're born 

And once when you look death in the face.” 

― Ian Fleming, You Only Live Twice
