Everyone must read!!

I read this in a book and it was so amazing I thought I would share it w/ you all. It's a little long so bare w/ me
It's call 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 a fool for love, for your dream, for adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring you moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your 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.
It 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 you fingers and toes without cautioning us to be carful, 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 be trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty, even when it's not pretty,everyday,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 a 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 the 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 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

"wow" is all i can say. That hit, deep. It seemed to penetrate all the aesthetic and false exterior surrounding me and cut to the core that's me. I'm impressed, where can i find this passage?

sorry it took so long for me to reply. I have been extremely busy. That was just a quote that Sylvia Browne had in her book "The Other Side And Back" She is a psychic/medium. It is a very good book and very inspirational. I am glad that you all liked it. That makes me feel good!

[Mulletboy]

thankyou so much

i have printed off a copy and now keep it in my wallet - everyone should read it when they are down, it makes you feel part of the human race - part of a massive collective and not alone - which is after all, what pills are all about.
