"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
