The InvitationIt 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 hearts 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 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 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 toeswithout 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 every day.
And if you can source your own life from its presence.I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes,â€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 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 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
