About Me

Words to aspire to:"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 desire.""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, and if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.""I want to know if you can sit with pain...yours or mine, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.""I want to know if you can be with joy, dance with the wildness of it, and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, or 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 hear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.""I want to know if you can be faithful to your word, and therefore be trustworthy.""I want to know if you can see beauty even when it’s not pretty every day, and if you can source your life from God's presence.""I want to know if you can live with failure, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver moon, "Yes!""It doesn't interest me 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 still do what needs to be done.""It doesn't interest me who you are, how you’ve come to be there. 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.”- Native American proverb

VISIONS OF YOU

Halls of my heart are haunted, I've a resident ghost that logic defies.  Past of history ties us tightly together...yes, we're bound, you and I.  Like a blind man lost of sight you find me....

BROKEN OF HEART

You licked my wounds so sweetly, only to taste the blood of tears Let flow the floodgates, drowned in a sorrowful sea of yesteryears   Blinded with butterfly kisses, though I'd seen that fli...
