"The Invitation"

I found this quote... from someone who quoted her use of it :-)
Sally Meyerhoff who had placed it on her blog right before getting killed by a truck at age 27, while she trained for another Ironman
It pretty much explains my view...

A month before Sally's death, she wrote...
"I don't like to make excuses 'Oh, I'm young. I have time.' Because we don't know how much time we will have in life, and I want to live every day with no regrets."

In that posting, she also had this quote...
It was written by a fellow Canadian, Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Someone I will have to read about further,
Thanks Sally for Paying it Forward... even post mortem
This is borrowed from an excellent poem named The Invitation


"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."
