. . . the eyes of your hearts being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, (Ephesians 1:18).
Did I ever have the idea that I might do something special on this earth, like having a gift that the whole world would like to see accomplished? I don’t think so. I never thought higher of myself than an inch above the dirt. The president of the university I attended went to Germany just before the Second World War started and somehow extracted their prima ballerina. He saved her from the ovens, and when I attended school, she was still there, so grateful someone thought her worthy of saving. Her friend, the well-known modern dancer, Martha Graham, had her school of dance in New York City. When I took the class of Dance with the prima ballerina, she contacted Martha, raved of my gift to dance, and Martha gave me a full ride, a full scholarship to her school of dance. I never took it. I never even told my folks about it. It terrified me to think I could accomplish something.
