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 risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me who you are 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.
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 truly enjoy the company you keep in the empty moment.
