The Invitation

Posted On März 14, 2007

Wurdest du jemals von jemandem dazu eingeladen auch nur einige dieser Fragen zu beantworten?
Stell dir für einen Moment vor, Arbeitskollegen, dein Chef, Partner, Freunde oder deine Familie hätten es getan. Wie würde es dich beeinflussen?

The Invitation

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 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 and your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine and 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’s 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 on 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 a 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 can 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.

    Definitely believe that which you stated. Your
    favorite reason appeared to be on the web the easiest
    thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they
    just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the
    top and defined out the whole thing without having side effect
    , people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
    Thanks

    Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if
    you get a lot of spam responses? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you
    can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving
    me mad so any help is very much appreciated.

    Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic but
    I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe
    guest writing a blog post or vice-versa?
    My website discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours
    and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel
    free to shoot me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
    Superb blog by the way!

    The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn’t fail me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read through, however I genuinely thought you’d have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something you could fix if you weren’t too busy looking for attention.

  22. nearby rv collision repair shop   23. November 2022 04:59

    Itís hard to come by well-informed people in this particular subject, however, you seem like you know what youíre talking about! Thanks

    What as up, I check your blogs regularly. Your story-telling style is awesome, keep it up!

  24. jay buys houses   23. November 2022 11:12

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.

    Maybe you could space it out better?

    Iím impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog thatís both equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I found this during my search for something relating to this.

    I do not know if it’s just me or if everyone else experiencing issues with your blog.
    It appears as though some of the written text
    in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else
    please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them
    as well? This may be a issue with my internet browser
    because I’ve had this happen previously. Cheers

So allow me to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending some time to talk about this subject here on your site.

    Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a top notch article… but what can I say… I put things off a lot and don’t manage to get anything done.
