The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

There are some poems or proses which makes you go into a perfect rigmarole of taking notice of our own self in the most swiftest way possible. This one has something in it, which makes us feel sense to the real sense !! Have a look at it --->

“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 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 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
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 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.

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 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.”

There's never a right time to do something right

There's never a right time to do what we think is right and correct, in the truest of our own sense. Time is just a metaphor that we make use of for doing an action, which we ought to do or sometimes we dream to do. There are reasons given by us to us that when the opportune moment comes, things would fall in place and that we should wait for the Alchemist to show us the path.

I believe that most of us, for a long time of their life never awaken to their true selves and keep on treading the same path, oblivious of the fact that they could be the best of their abilities in their mind & heart. The only missing factor that shoves them behind is the zeal to take that first step of making the change or rather being the change.

Some of the most intriguing moments in our life, say for example, a life threatening tryst, a sudden surprise, a jolt would make one wonder and think of the moments which are being missed in life, which is always short and mischievious its own way. It is said that Life is all about choices but at the same time, choices need to be made at the correct moment which needs us to be out of our comfort zone and think in a content equilibrium state.

There's never a right time to do something right, but then there's never a wrong time either. Lets make the most of what is right in us to be Us, so even if, later, when we end up being right or wrong, the satisfaction of striving to be the Righteous, would always be there. If not for anything, we would always end up having the experience to make the next attempt with more chances of being right. After all, its never done, until we think and feel so !!
