I don't really care where you work. I want to know what passion electrifies your spirit, what consumes you, the thing you'd do if you didn't have to work and money didn't matter. I don't care what your height or weight is - I want to know if you have a relationship with your body and if know that it hurts your soul when you hurt it? I don't really want to know how far you went in school. I'd rather find out how you bring new learning into your life and whether or not you know that every experience you have and every interaction with another is an opportunity to learn. I want to know that learning and changing and growing are things you didn't consider over at graduation. I don't need to know about your past lovers - I just need to know that you demand to be treated fairly and with respect today. If you can't tell me the source of your pain, I want to know that the darkness that has befallen you in this life broke you open and didn't make you fall into yourself, crushed and hiding from love so you can't be hurt again. I want to know that when the dark times come again that you are strong enough to break, sink down to the ground and weep until you are cleaned out. I also need to know that once you are done with that, you are strong enough to stand back up and do whatever it takes to get through the day and help those around you that need it. I want to know that you can feel hurt, betrayal, anger and disappointment fully, but that you are unable to understand total despair or hopelessness. I want to know that you think life is joyful and all the shadows are matched by light. I want to know if you understand that lonely and alone are not the same thing. I want to know that you are realistic and have done what it takes to lead a good life, but for you postponing dreams doesn't mean abandoning them. I need to know that you feel passion and that it drives many of your choices, but also that you are able to temper that passion with reason. I want to know is that the things you do for fun expand you and don't isolate you or deaden who you are. I want to know if you remember that we are creatures of nature and that we need to be in it sometimes to nourish our souls. I don't need to know your good deeds, just that they exist and that you are kind and loving to others and yourself. I don't need to know what hurt others have visited on you, just that you have forgiven them. I don't really care what religion you are - I just want to know that you feel some sense of spirituality,or some connection to something greater than yourself. I don't really care what your ethnicity is - just that you are tolerant of those unlike yourself. I want to hear your stories, but mostly I want to know that your travels have taught you to be fair, honest and compassionate. I don't care where you are from, as long as I know you are going somewhere. I don't really care who else you love as long as that love doesn't make you abandon me. Yeah - that's what I want to know
