The Invitation- Oriah Mountain Dreamer
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 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 centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled 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 toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to 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.” 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 centre 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. What you need to know

Song of the day: ps. if this is austin by Brad Paisley The Dance- OMD
I have sent you my invitation, the note inscribed on the palm of my hand by the fire of living. Don’t jump up and shout, “Yes, this is what I want! Let’s do it!” Just stand up quietly and dance with me. Show me how you follow your deepest desires, spiraling down into the ache within the ache, and I will show you how I reach inward and open outward to feel the kiss of the Mystery, sweet lips on my own, every day. Don’t tell me you want to hold the whole world in your heart. Show me how you turn away from making another wrong without abandoning yourself when you are hurt and afraid of being unloved. Tell me a story of who you are, and see who I am in the stories I live. And together we will remember that each of us always has a choice. Don’t tell me how wonderful things will be . . . some day. Show me you can risk being completely at peace, truly okay with the way things are right now in this moment, and again in the next and the next and the next. . . I have heard enough warrior stories of heroic daring. Tell me how you crumble when you hit the wall, the place you cannot go beyond by the strength of your own will. What carries you to the other side of that wall, to the fragile beauty of your own humanness? And after we have shown each other how we have set and kept the clear, healthy boundaries that help us live side by side with each other, let us risk remembering that we never stop silently loving those we once loved out loud. Take me to the places on the earth that teach you how to dance, the places where you can risk letting the world break your heart. And I will take you to the places where the earth beneath my feet and the stars overhead make my heart whole again and again. Show me how you take care of business without letting business determine who you are. When the children are fed but still the voices within and around us shout that soul’s desires have too high a price, let us remind each other that it is never about the money. Show me how you offer to your people and the world the stories and the songs you want our children’s children to remember. And I will show you how I struggle not to change the world, but to love it. Sit beside me in long moments of shared solitude, knowing both our absolute aloneness and our undeniable belonging. Dance with me in the silence and in the sound of small daily words, holding neither against me at the end of the day. And when the sound of all the declarations of our sincerest intentions has died away on the wind, dance with me in the infinite pause before the next great inhale of the breath that is breathing us all into being, not filling the emptiness from the outside or from within. Don’t say, “Yes!” Just take my hand and dance with me. | Drinking... my diet pepsi Thursday. 7.28.05 1:17 pm So I hear that Wedding Crashers is a must see, from about 5 ppl now. *sigh* I guess "Must love dogs" might have to wait... so last night's bowling was fun, scored two games, of 100!!! Drove my first drunk person, actually he was more just tipsy. Was surprised at how kinda embarassed I was to be sitting with a loud tipsy person, and then how much I really didn't care... I mean half those ppl were High schoolers, so as Chris said, Screw them. Especially little ones who think they are all that,a nd try to pick fights, seriously dude give it up. Anyway, I made a promise last night... it'll be interesting. They say that alcohol can be a truth serum for some ppl, and at work today I thought about what I would say to certain ppl if they were nearby... I think it'd be more humorous than offensive... maybe both, which is why I dislike being around drunk ppl. I see the appeal of it, pretend life as u want it to be, pretend u are someone u are not, be able to get away with saying horrible things or doing bad things and getting away with it guilt free... Then at work I realized while cleaning a tv after Charlie came in the room fully disgusted cuz he found a condom wrapper in the trash, (at least they were using protection) *sigh* it's funny how he's so young he's still grossed out by such things... Well I realized how lucky I am. Ok so you never know how ppl will change once they hit the college scene, however, to actually find ONE guy who doesn't drink is... close to impossible it seems, however I am sure there are some... one for example, my Keith! *whew* lucky again. I think one or two is ok (for social purposes, not to get trashed)... as long as u are not driving that whole night. You just have to know that you really are drinking ONLY one or two, cuz it's easy to think u are, but really drink much more... like any mixed drink is at least two, and a glass of wine is only half a glass. THat is on average what gives ppl that happy feeling, then 3-4 is buzzed and 5 up is drunk, then wasted. The problem with drinking tho is ppl do stupid things, like drive. They have an enlarged sense of ability and confidence, then make wrong choices. I remember my parents would always tell me, if I were ever somewhere and for whatever reason couldn't come home cuz either I was incapable or the ppl driving were, to call them reguardless... I have to remember to keep that in mind when raising my own kids... which again, can be a surprise of drinking, u forget the condom, u think she/he's more attractive, u use bad judgement... and it's funny how guys have a hard time getting up cuz alcohol relaxes ur muscles, remember that boys. Wow I just went on quite the drinking tangent. I'm gonna go read or something, have to work out today still and play volleyball at 6pm. 3 Comments.
