Greetings from the Land of the Mouldy Elephant

HomeThe Land of the Mouldy ElephantApr 2, 2005


"You can do anything if you have enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the yeast that makes your hopes rise to the stars. With it, there is accomplishment. Without it, there are only alibis."

- Henry Ford



"...Hope is not blind optimism. It's not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It's not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it."

- Barack Obama



According to Agnes de Mille: "I was bewildered and worried that my entire scale of values was untrustworthy. ... I confessed that I had a burning desire to be excellent, but no faith that I could be. Martha said to me, very quietly,"

'"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 of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. ... No artist is pleased. [There is] no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others"'

- Martha Graham to Agnes de Mille

Arriane, I would like to take this moment to thank you for connecting to my site. I look forward to exchanging ideas with you in the near future as our organization, Magna Kultura Foundation pursues advocacies at the grassroots to instill Filipino nationalism and education-for-development programs. Your suggestions will go a long way in transforming people in communities. For your reference, our main site at http://magnakultura.multiply.com provides information to our socio-civic activities. Looking forward to partnerships with you and your colleagues in service of our fellow-Filipinos.
