A must read !!
The web is a wonderful tool, helps you read stuff otherwise you could hardly lay your hands on.
This is a must read poem, if possible do read the book INVITATION ( a prose containing letters from Oriah Mountain ) click here for a link to her WEBSITE.
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.
I want to know what you ache for

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 have touched the centre of your own sorrow

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.

I want to know if you can live with failure
yours and mine
and still stand at 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.

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 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.

Happy days - Happy nights
It's been almost an hour I'm not able to come up with words to express my feelings yet it very important to record this date .. this time .. (6th may 2011 : 3:15 pm) as it is the most precious and the most happiest.
Can't think of more to say... I'm experiencing euphoria presently....

Cross Road Ahead
Have seen the movie Crossroads ? Yeh, the one that starred Britney Spears ( Awesome songs but pathetic movie, not a single scene to tell you a touchy tale). I can feel being laid on crossroad in my life presently.. now why so( everyone close to me know it very well.. )Let's get to the point .. so what does one do when they find themselves at Crossroads in life ? One can say treat it as any other journey of life, it's easier said than done. Being there holding on until you strike the right opportunity to let go of all that you own to gain all that you dream off can scare anyone. But again, you ought to do what you ought to do in life, regrets can't fill the void created by an opportunity missed.
Who am i fooling here, it's me who needs all this lecturing to keep my mind sane why am i serving it to you? (over the years i guess my mind responds better to the preachings i rather read than those i tell myself personally, this is more for me and less for you) Life will always throw you at crossroads, be wise to decide where you wanna head because where you head to is not where you shall land. Never loose heart, be determined to fight all along. As said by a great man - " Be sure to put your feet in the right place and then stand firm".

Will gladly share more of my joys and sob stories soon ...
