From The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer : ?"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 centre of your sorrow, 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, mine and 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, to 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 bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty everyday, and if you can source your life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours or mine, and still stand on the edge of a 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 the 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 are, 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." I go back and forth between INFP and ENFP.

My Interests

Writing, travel writing, acting, theatre, traveling, procrastinating, rockclimbing, snowboarding, tai chi, Buddhism, Taoism, meditation, Osho, yoga, hiking, running, trapeze, Japanese language, raw food, vegetarianism, red wine: the tasting of, the drinking of and the learning about; and violent, wall-shaking thunderstorms where all the lights go out.

I'd like to meet:

I only add people I know and have actually met personally as friends unless someone is pretty damn interesting and it is really hard to impress me. So unless you're a globetrotting circus performer....you get the idea.

Music:

Pretty much anything but country. My favorite song is All Along the Watchtower. My favorite artist at present is Andrew Bird. I also like Dave Matthews Band, Guster, Maroon 5, Eminem, Miles Davis, Jimmy Eat World, Phish, Foo Fighters, AFI, The Fray, Ben Harper, The Postal Service, Imogen Heap, The Decemberists, Jack's Mannequin, Linkin Park, Black 47, Sigor Ros, Love Psychedelico, Portishead.....the list is endless.

Movies:

I like movies with depth, and reality distortion. Think Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, 12 Monkeys. I also like Under the Tuscan Sun, and L.A. Confidential.

Television:

I'd rather live my own life than watch people on a screen live theirs. That said, I am a fan of Sex and the City reruns.

Books:

Anything by Chuck Palahniuk especially Survivor. Anything by Osho. The Artist's Way (gotta love the motivational books for culture shock days) and David Sedaris' "Me talk pretty one day." A Thousand Splendid Suns, The Kite Runner, Life of Pi. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. And most recently, tao te ching, a translation by Stephen Mitchell.

Heroes:

Don't have any. Be careful who you idolize--best to follow your own path.
