The "Magic Sword"
~ Footprints on the Heart ~
Some people come into our lives and
quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding
with the passing whisper of their
wisdom.
Some people make the sky more
beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile,
leave footprints on our hearts
And we are never, ever the same.

~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 dreams, 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 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, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you're 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. I want to know if you can be faithful and therefore be
trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can
source your life from God's 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 for the children.
It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here. I want to know if you will
stand in the center 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.
