Something True...

 "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 are you, 

I want to know if you are willing to risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventures 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.

I want to know if you can sit with pain,

Mine or your own.  

I want to know if you can be with joy 

Mine or your own.

I want to know if you can disappoint another 

to be true to yourself.

I want to know if you can see beauty 

even when it is not pretty every day.

I want to know if you can live with failure, 

Yours and mine.

It doesn't interest me where you live or how rich you are.

I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone, and be sweet to the ones you love .

I want to know 

if you will stand in the centre of fire with me and not shrink back.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and truly like the company you keep in the empty moments of your life."

Oriah Mountain Dreamer - The invitation 

Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid 1942
