"It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
What interests me is 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.
What interests me is 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…
What interests me is 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.
What interests me is if you can be with joy
mine , your own,or someone's else
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
What interests me is if you can disappoint another
to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul.
What interests me is if you can see Beauty
even when it is not pretty
every day.
And if you can source your own life
from its presence.
What interests me is if you can live with failure
yours and others
and still stand at the edge of the lake
and shout to the silver of the full moon,
“Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me who you know
how you came to be here or how much money you have .
What interests me is if you will stand
in the centre of the fire
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.
What interests me is if you can be alone
with yourself
and if you truly like the company you keep
in the empty moments before being with someone else .
And somewhere there , deep whithin, the heart will get connected with the answers .
