I'd like to meet:

I want to meet people who aren't afraid of a little adventure. People who know that when they can't take my roller-coaster today, I'll still welcome them back when things are calmer or when they've stopped reeling and are ready for more. I want to meet people who understand the unspoken language of smiles - from genuine "I'm glad to see you" smiles to "I just want to hide behind something acceptable" smiles...people who see more than just the color when they look into my eyes. I want to meet people who are ready to walk out into the world with open arms, saying "Good morning World. Give me all you've got." And I want to meet people who'll say the same to me. Most of all, I want to meet people who've learned the value of keeping their judgements for less sensitive days. People who know that the first impression is rarely the best impression we form about people who didn't even try to make an impression on us at all. People who are trying to practice compassion, even if they do fail more days than they succeed.

I want to meet people who are unafraid of Different, who are respectful of Human, who dignify Individual, who embrace Original, who love Un-ordinary.

Someone WORTH meeting, who has morals, not boundaries; who has cares, not worries; who lives in the world, but is not of the world; who takes control, breaks the limits, lives on the edge without fear, who knows that having it any other way is just a waste of time.

"We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, and Fabulous?' Actually, who are YOU not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small DOESN'T serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. ALL of us. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give outher people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."~~Nelson Mandella
