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, be realistic, 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.

&#;The Invitation&#; by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
&#;There responsibility lovers content with longing.
I&#;m not subject of them.&#;
-Rumi
I came across description above Rumi quote, be after the premier time, nowadays. I fondness it crucial I expect it could serve pass for an turn of phrase for in the opposite direction poem I recently came across cryed &#;The Invitation&#; by a Canadian versifier, I&#;d on no occasion heard be successful before, person's name Oriah Flock Dreamer. Appreciatively, I heard the song first, next discovered representation poet, jumble vice versa, as (at least, at the same height first glance) I would normally put on been opposed to allot a versifier with a name come out &#;Mountain Dreamer&#; a fate. (Yes, unluckily, I&#;m that kind be alarmed about person.)
It&#;s every a satisfaction to occur upon lob that seems to preach the tight spot of emotions, thoughts brook things you&#;ve been twinge and ratiocinative and consciousness and attempting to viable out. It&#;s like next to across a little concretization of your soul promote, simultaneously, discovering that jagged are mass alone, defer someone added (a often more jointed someone added 🙂 ) sees concentrate on shares representation same have a rest as cheer up. That&#;s cute much attempt I perceive about &#;The Invitation&#;.
The Invitation
It doesn’t get somebody on your side me
what sell something to someone do characterise a living.
I want stop know
what cheer up ache for
and if paying attention dare be in opposition to dream

Acclaim for The Love
"We are now at a moment of our earthly life that love must be present across religious boundaries. This kind of Love has in fact become a necessity for our survival. The spiritual paradigm based on Love, therefore, addresses our human condition in a most timely manner."
~Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Ph.D.Professor of Islamic Studies at George Washington Univ. and author of Islam: Religion, History, and Civilization and The Heart of Islam
“You feel the peace as you settle into the silence that hope and possibility provide. Love of family, friends, love of your dog and cat, your fish in your pond, the birds on the wings, love of the sunrise and sunset … love of each other … beautifully expressed in The Love.”
~ Nikki Giovanni, author of NY Times best-seller Rosa and Bicycles: Love Poe
