Norns, you hold all fates
in your maiden hands, the threads
twisting and spinning.
Spinsters of fate, norns,
twirling and twisting the tale
setting birth and death.
–to Agnes DeMille, in Dance of the Piper… 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 stay open and aware / To the urges that motivate you. / Keep the channel open.
