The Invitation
by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

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 centre of your own sorrow
if you have been opened
by life’s 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 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 is 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 at 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
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 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.

Nature meditation:Sit in a comfy chair or stand in nature and relax your body from the top of your head, your eyes, mouth, jaw, neck, shoulders through your whole body to your toes. Now focus on your breath, gently inhaling and exhaling. 🧘‍♂️

Take your attention to your surrounds or to this video. Feel the chair beneath you and the ground beneath your feet, the temperature of the air on your skin. ☺️

Hear the sounds around you. 🎶

Smell the fragrances in the air.

See the colour and sights around you. 🌈
Taste the beauty of simply being here now. 😋

If your mind wanders, gently let the thoughts go and bring your attention back to the breath.🧘‍♂️

Every Friday is special, but yesterday was EXTRA- ORDINARY.🤩

Most Fridays for a very long time have been my dedicated day to the Old age homes/ Rest homes/ Frail care. I’m not their dedicated GP as that is a very time consuming job. I go in for social visits and often end up giving advice, writing scripts, examining patients and being more of a support for the staff and the residents. 💕

My greatest reward is having time to chat to the elderly, hear their stories, listen to their concerns, talk through problem areas, examine and treat if necessary. I just love older people and find it a rare privilege to connect and learn from their wisdom.🥰

Yesterday we were treated to the most incredible concert by two world renowned musicians, Christopher Duigan and James Grace. I had been to their concert on Tuesday and really wanted the residents at Le Domaine to attend. There are no words to describe this experience! 🤩

One lady said “ it felt like the Holy Spirit filled the room” 💫

There wasn’t a dry eye at the end and we were all filled with joy which had been so generously and graciously gifted by these two Maestros. Both are on You Tube if you would like to hear their genius🤩

The healing power of music 🎶 🎵
