I am here for Friends

About Me

I like to be in the forest or by the sea or in the mountains with the ones I love...Put me in a field full of strangers...*hit the music and I'm away...*I like laughing till I cry and crying till I laugh, I like singing and playing the flute and strumming a guitar until I'm content (and occasionally I'm brave enough to do this in front of people...but it is a rare occasion). I like smoking a spliff and listening to some sweet tunes, I like writing and hearing and expressing thoughts and stories and I like to love and I like to be loved, and these things are all I need to be me.

I'd like to meet:

anyone with a story to tellIt 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 dream, 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 centre 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 you 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 ecstatsy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, 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 ever day. And if you can source your own life from it's presence.I want to know if you can live with failiure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes!'.It doens't interest me to know where you live or how much money yo have. I want to know if you can get up after the 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 centre 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.
