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.

These are the opening lines of a book by Oriah Mountain Dreamer which she wrote after coming home from a party of dissatisfying small talk.  A girl after my own heart – how many meaningful conversations do we have at a party?  During our day?  In our week?

Meaningful conversations are where we meet each other, hear each other and acknowledge each other as living, loving human beings.  So let’s go have some!
