The Invitation - by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
This is quite beautiful...
The Invitation
It doesn't matter to 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 it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, and if you can dance with the wilderness and let the ecstacy 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.
It doesn't interest me if the story you're 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 beauty even when it is not pretty everyday, and if you can source your life from God'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 the 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 who you are, 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.

Contest for the kitties
I posted this for the chance to win a $20.00 gift certificate to be able to provide food for my boyz. It was to be 200 words or less and Jax was the narrator. And the topic what was their goal for 2011. Send love for it will happen. :)
"Well, Im the skinny old man on the left. My name is Jax and this young fat kid to my right that moved in 4 yrs ago, Slyder. Our care taker, the human, has left us in a home with 7 other cats and 3 dogs. Another female human is caring for us till our human moves us out. She comes to feed, water and give a ton of pets (petting and love) to us once a week. Don’t tell anyone, but I really enjoy sitting on her lap now. I have given in to being so grumpy, she brings me warmth with these old bones. Darn humans!”
“She promises us, she is doing the best she can to find us a new home with her. Times are hard. I have been with her for 14 years and I know she will. My goal is to live with my human caretaker again and for her to be able to provide better food for us. These old bones need a new home and her bed to sleep on again. And I know she loves us."
