~ an 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 dreams, 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.
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, everyday, 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!"
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 to 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 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.
It doesn't interest me who you are. I just want to know YOU.

Manila Bulletin September 10, 2004 SPRING COOKING Oil-backed Laguna Spring toppled the Baguio Cardinals, 84-75, while Skygo-supported Tribu Sugbu (Cebu Tribes) ripped the Batangas 29ers, 82-71, Wednesday to show the way in the NBC (National Basketball Conference) national champioship. Former NCAA most valuable player Ernani Epondulan and Mar Reyes combined for 40 points to power the Spring of NBC president Nathaniel "Tac’’ Padilla and Laguna Gov. Teresita "Ningning’’ Lazaro to their seventh win in 12 games at the University of Baguio gym. Jojo Tangkay rediscovered his old form and joined hands with Jeffrey Sanders in leading the Tribes to a seven-game sweep of their home stand at the Cebu Coliseum. Spring regained the North division lead in the tourney sponsored by Panasonic, Spring Cooking Oil, PCSO, Sulpicio Lines, Nature’s Spring Mineral Water, Cebu Ferries, Air Philippines, Supercat, Skygo Motorcycles, Trans-Asia, Accel and Molten. The Tribes of businessmen Lito Gillamac Jr., Albert Tan and Dr. Kelly Viado broke away from a 38-38 halftime tie to lead 55-46 after Tangkay sank two triples and two free throws off Batangas coach Yong Garcia’s technical foul. Sanders, who finished with 16 points, took over from Tangkay after that, pouring in 10 points in the fourth quarter as the Tribes improved their record to 9-1.
