*eye love*

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------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 a fool for love, for your dreams, and 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 sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have you become shriveled and closed from the fear of future 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 ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning you to be careful, be realistic or to remember the limitations of being human.It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself, if you can bare the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul, if you can be faithful, and therefore, be trustworthy.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 for 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. -----------------------------------Oriah Mountain Dreamer----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------http://people.brandeis.edu/~ samp/tarantula.htmhttp://www.jacksonpollock.org/http://www.t herightfoot.net/mystuff/whatever/swf/bubblewrap.swf ---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------- UNDER CONDITIONS OF PEACE, THE WARLIKE MAN ATTACKS HIMSELF. -Friedrich Nietzsche ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------
