Hi Christopher, the way I read the quote it’s a challenge to do what we don’t normally do. Most of us try and make sense… maybe his normal pattern is to make chaos?

Interesting quote from Carlos Castaneda, because I would describe his dances as a means of trying to make sense out of chaos. Christopher Trottiers last blog post..Carlos Castenada's Magical Dances

William, what a thoughtful reflection. I particularly liked this point

“the reassurance that the feeling of dissatisfaction or unfinished business at the conclusion of a project is both natural and motivating”

Thank you

I see two elements to Martha Graham’s quote. First is the obvious urge to try new things. Second, is the reassurance that the feeling of dissatisfaction or unfinished business at the conclusion of a project is both natural and motivating. Rage on!

LOL I suppose it would be boring. But I'm genetically programmed that way so I have to learn to appreciate it and relish the moments of connecting with people like you who really "get it!" {{{{hugz}}}} Arianes last blog post..25 Ways I Save Money - 2008

Ariane, I had so much fun with this post – not least all the extra quotes that people came along and shared. Sometimes it’s hard to live without satisfaction… but then again wouldn’t we be bored if we didn’t keep that channel open..?

Joanna - what an AWESOME post! I love all the quotes...especially: You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. (Martha Graham) and the Arianes last blog post..25 Ways I Save Money - 2008
