One of Natalie's favorite quotes is:"It doesnât 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 heartâs longing. It doesnât 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 doesnât interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by lifeâs 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 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 doesnât interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesnât 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. © Mountaindreaming, from the book The Invitation published by HarperSanFrancisco, 1999 All rights reserved
My fav quote of all time..I carry it with me in my purse...We are chained to that which we do not forgive. Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not b/c the anchor is worthy, but b/c the ship is. Richard P. Evans".
