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 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 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 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 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 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. ~Oriah Mountain Dreamer |
The Color of Your Eyes
It seemed like time had stopped,
The moment I heard your lively heartbeat. I imagined your sweet, innocent smile, Your tiny hands and tiny feet. My heart filled with so much love, Dreams of a future so near. When I could hold you in my arms, And chase away any fears. I could make out your sweet tiny toes, As you kicked from inside my skin. I felt every roll and every hick-up, From my miracle baby, within. I counted down the days and nights, Until my little boy would be born. When you would be nestled in my loving arms, Where I would hold you and keep you warm. I loved you before I knew you, I will love you until the end of time. You're my sparkling shooting star, For you, the sun does shine. I never expected you would be taken, Your life ending before your first breath. Your birth was meant to be joyful, Not associated with your death. You passed through my life so quickly, Leaving me feeling such love for you, and such pain. When I think of what should have been, Mine eyes continue to pour like the rain. I think about you every waking moment, How much by now you would have grown. How I'd wrap my arms around you, Not be sitting here alone. Know that Mommy loves you, You are my rainbow in the skies. I'll never forget the sweetness of your face, Never knowing the color of your eyes. For my son... |
When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still; be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists -- as it surely will. Then act with courage. Chief White Eagle |
"If that battle isn't between you and your destiny, it's not worth it. You don't have to fight every battle."
Joel Osteen |
An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life...
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. "One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. "This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed." |
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late." Ralph Waldo Emerson
