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 dream, for the adventure of being alive... I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty everyday... 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.
