I was going to quit the life for personal reasons because i made a mistake and lost the slave i love, but then i read something and have found that life is a mean enemy and can be defeated. This is what i read and find it so true, to the person who wrote this, Thank You it means alot.
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 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 in pain, mine or your pain, 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, 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 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 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 fall way. I
want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the
company you keep in the empty moments.
My apologies to those who have seen fit to lose me as i am, I won't bend for another nor search for one to take your place. I am here for the chat only, if you seek more we can chat but in all reality i feel it is hopeless to find the one that will be honest with themselves and face what life has in store for them. Both good and Bad.
