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.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon...
This body is a letter to the king
'Back now to the servant who is writing
letters to the king to
protest how his food allotment
has been reduced. He thinks
he is writing in a calm and reasonable style, but the king
can hear the conceit and bitterness
inside the words. This body, your life, is a letter
to the king of the universe.
Go to a private place and open it and read to see if
the words are right. If they
aren't, start another! And don't think it's easy to open
the body and read the secret
