What Image for these Quotes ?




As I read, recently  .....



"  It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.  I want to know what you ache for. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstacy fill you to the tips of your fingertips and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

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 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 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 still 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 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 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. "

contemporary world class photographers around]
