grey's anatomy & private practice
heroes
it's late now. perhaps
it was only a long day the colour of honey and blue,
perhaps only a night, like the eyelid
of a grave look that encompassed
the measure of the sea that surrounded us,
and in this territory we found only a kiss,
only ungraspable love that will remain here
wandering among the sea foam and roots.
- Pablo Neruda, The House in the Sand
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 time,
this expression is unique.
and if you block it,
it will never exist through any other medium...
the world will not have it.
it is not your business to determine how good it is,
nor how it compares with other expressions.
it is your business to keep it yours
clearly and directly,
to keep the channel open.
- Martha Graham
great artists are people who find the way
to be themselves in their art.
any sort of pretension induces medocrity in art and life alike.
- Margot Fonteyn

4. Shonda Rhimes has said that Meredith and Derek will get together for good, and how this will happen will be “yummy” and “special.” Has she followed through on her promise so far?
McCritic: Gosh, no. All that’s happened since the show returned from its strike hiatus has been a contrived brain tumor surgical study - used just to get Mer/Der in the same room a lot - and the show using a therapist to explain all the fault of Meredith loyal viewers already knew she had. This isn’t special. It’s boring.
iheartizzie: Absolutely not. There’s still a window of opportunity to salvage this season next week (and a two-hour episode at that), but Grey’s Anatomy has been flat since the strike. I’d love to hear readers’ thoughts on this, as it’s hard to criticize a show I love so, but I don’t really buy Nurse Plot Device or Therapist Plot Device or Clinical Trial Plot Device. I haven’t given up hope but patience is wearing a thin. Here’s hoping for a brilliant finale. Tie it together, Shonda. Bring it home. We know you can do it.
missingBurke: Yes. Grey’s Anatomy prides itself on real, flawed characters. We don’t need major events to get Mer and Der together finally. We just need them to slowly evolve, to see one another as we’ve seen them both for years now. Once they do, damn right it’ll be yummy and special.
