Cool people with good hearts.
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living
I want to know what you ache for
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love
for your dreams
for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow
if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become
shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain
mine or your own
without moving to hide it
or fade it
or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy
mine or your own
if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill
you to the tips of your fingers and toes without
cautioning us to
be careful
be realistic
to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can
disappoint another
to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of
betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be
faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not
pretty every day. And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the
silver of the full moon, "Yes."
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much
money you have. I want to know if you can get up
after a night of grief and despair
weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done
to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be
here. I want to know if you will stand in the
center of the fire
with me
and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have
studied. I want to know what sustains you
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments.

I collect books. I have a lot of American and Presidential history, a lot of classic novels, poetry and art. A noteworthy novel of the day is always good too. I'm reading "The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter" right now. I still have yet to read the Da Vinci Code but its on the to-do list.

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Philippians 4:8
