The Invitation
The Invitation | Oriah
3 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
Visionary author Oriah Mountain Dreamer brings to life the wisdom of her beloved invitation, which has touched hearts everywhere with its fresh and spirited call to live life more deeply, honestly, and well. Like the inspirations for Robert Fulghum?s All I Really Need to Know I learned in Kindergarten, Cherie Carter-Scott?s If Life Is a Game, These are the Rules, and Margaret Fishback Power?s Footprints, the poem that sparked The Invitation has been embraced around the world, passed along by thousands who have discovered and treasured its message. In this lovely gift book the author speaks from the heart, reflecting on everything from desire to betrayal and offering practical - and often surprising - suggestions for how to live the ecstasy of everyday life, learn to recognise true beauty in ourselves and the world around us, and how to find the sustenance that our spirit longs for. The poem Invitation has been recited and quoted at countless spiritual conferences, and on network radio by Robert Bly, Jack Kornfield, Angeles Arrien, and many other spiritual leaders. From the Invitation: ? 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 ...?

I first read this 22 years ago (!) and recently picked it up again on an impulse. I'm glad to say it still holds water after all this time. Oriah can be relied upon to "keep it real": she's grounded, she's authentic, and she didn't throw her analytical mind out the window when she determined to live her life oriented towards Spirit.

This often happens to me. Especially when I try to land soft blows because I think people can't take it. Maybe I should learn to let blows land where they need to.
