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.

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something concerning this.

  8. tubidy mp3   26. April 2023 00:04

    An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should publish more about this issue, it might not be a taboo subject but generally folks don’t speak about these issues. To the next! Best wishes.

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

  15. download lagu   26. April 2023 14:12

    was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to everything.
    Do you have any tips and hints for inexperienced blog writers?
    I’d certainly appreciate it.

    After I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify
    me when new comments are added- checkbox and now every time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the same comment.

    Perhaps there is an easy method you are able to remove me from that service?
    Thanks!

    I would also like to express that most people that find themselves with no health insurance are typically students, self-employed and those that are out of work. More than half of those uninsured are under the age of Thirty five. They do not really feel they are wanting health insurance as they are young as well as healthy. Their particular income is generally spent on housing, food, as well as entertainment. Lots of people that do go to work either entire or not professional are not offered insurance by way of their jobs so they move without as a result of rising cost of health insurance in the United States. Thanks for the thoughts you share through your blog.

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever
    run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My website has a
    lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without
    my authorization. Do you know any methods to help prevent content from
    being stolen? I’d truly appreciate it.

    My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform. I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  44. delaremontnika.ru   5. Mai 2023 14:05

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

    I have learned many important things via your post. I might also like to state that there may be a situation in which you will obtain a loan and do not need a co-signer such as a Government Student Aid Loan. However, if you are getting a borrowing arrangement through a conventional financier then you need to be prepared to have a co-signer ready to assist you. The lenders will certainly base their decision on a few issues but the most important will be your credit standing. There are some loan companies that will in addition look at your job history and come to a decision based on this but in many cases it will hinge on your report.
