Words to live by!!
An Invitation
*Oriah Mountain Dreamer- Indian Elder*
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 shriveled 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 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/ or to remember the
limitations of being human.
lt 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 and therefore trustworthy. I want to
know if you can see the beauty
even when it is not pretty every day/ and
you can source your life from it's presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure/ yours
and mine/ and still stand on the
edge of a lake and shout to the silver
of a 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 for the children.
It doesn't interest me to know who you are 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.
