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 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." 

-Oriah, The Invitation
