This article in the Times sort of blew my mind. Mainly because I am so far away from mathematics, and apparently it is the universe's one true thing. Whoops. How can those of us who are not mathemeticians spend our time pursuing completely unprovable truths? Working to express a unique truth upon which none is meant to agree? I mean, really. If mathematics is the truth upon which our system is built, then I am peddling snake oil. YES!
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one you in all time, this expression is unique. And 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 to other expressions.
-Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille
