THE INVITATION

[morningdew]

ini dari buku kesayangan gue yang sampe sekarang belom berhasil gue miliki. susah banget nyarinya di indo. judulnya The Invitation. yang ngarang namanya Oriah Mountain Dreamer. ada yang berbaik hati mau beliin di amrik trus kirimin ke indo buat gue? :) anyway..enjoy!!!



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 center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shriveled 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.

[morningdew]

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’s 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 on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"

[morningdew]

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 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.

[morningdew]

let me invite you to my heart
a little corner where i feel my sorrow
the place i smile over silly little things
the room i make to feel happiness and joy
a quiet spot where i shed my tears
the small box where i hide all my pain
the one place i'll be living in again

[morningdew]

senangnyaaaaa.....akhirnya direktur gue yang baru pulang dari Aussie berbaik hati ngebeliin gue buku ini buat oleh-oleh. Yang hardcover pulak!!! :D:D:D nih gue kutip lagi ya..:)


I want to live with deep intimacy every day of my life. I am guided, sometimes driven, by an ache to take the necessary risks that will let me live close to what is within and around me. And I am sometimes afraid that it will be too much, that I will not have, or be connected to, whatever it takes to be with it all, to bear the exquisite beauty and bone-wrenching sorrow of being fully alive.

[surya_]

yah.....batal dong amanat yang gue terima.. :)

[morningdew]

kan masih ada A Night Without Armor nya Jewel :)

[carminaburana]

wah morning....bagus "puisi²" ini.... tapi mana yg lainnya ? :(

[morningdew]

sabar ya, carm. gue masih baca nih, ntar begitu ada waktu lowong gue post deh disini :)

[morningdew]

The willingness to live our desires takes courage
so many times our desires have been used
against us,
used to sell us what someone else
wanted us to buy

Moving toward our desire for deep commitment
to Spirit,
we have been sold blind obedience;
opening to our desire to love
we have been sold an abandonment of self
seeking to embrace our desire for beauty
we have been sold everything
from cars to clothes,
exotic vacations to plastic surgery

We have been sold a lifestyle
when what our soul desired
was life..

[serenity]

Jadi inget liriknya robbie yang bait keduanya lupa... ::hhh::

Send someone to love me
Lord, I'm feeling cold
Feel like getting old
Before my time..

Lord I'm doing, the best I can
To be a better man...

[morningdew]

naikin ah :D:D

[serenity]

hehehe...topik abad lalu..

[morningdew]

yoi :D gue lagi baca lagi bukunya :) bagus banget !! :)

[nikkita]

beautiful ol'days..{:

[morningdew]

[Rendjana]

Read a page.
You're quite something, young lady! :D

Rendjana, i just write whatever's in my head ;)
