Shadow of a chery tree

Text by the author:

Shadow of a chery tree
Her mind was empty, her senses awaken, her breath was rhythmic.
She laid on her back on the green carpet.
Light slightly filtered through the cherry tree leaves.
The sky and the green interlaced as in an impressionist painting.
Her silk kimono caressed her legs
And the drawings she had carefully embroidered,
Started rising from the fabric and floated
In a secret dance over her motionless body.
Running water could be heard from afar like a monotonous music,
And the smell of the grass, together with the sweet tatami cherry,
Drove her to another world.
At this time, or centuries before, two women interweave the same dreams
underneath the shadow of the same cherry tree.

It is not for you to determine

“There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickering that is translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all times, this expression is unique. If you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. You must keep this channel open. It is not for you to determine how good it is or how valuable, or how it compares with other expressions. It is for you to keep it yours, clearly and directly.” Martha Graham.
