You cannot step into the same river twice. 

~Heraclitus, in Diogenes Laertius, Lives

THE DIGNITY OF THE TIBETAN PEOPLE

The sword of hatred is ornamented with the handle of invasion,
A red star has imprisoned the sun and moon,
The high snow-peaked mountains are cloaked in the darkness of a poisonous wind;
The peaceful valleys have been shattered by the sound of artillery.
But the dignity of the Tibetan people competes with the glory of the sky.

Composed November 10, 1972.

From FIRST THOUGHT BEST THOUGHT, page 39. Also in THE COLLECTED WORKS OF CHOGYAM TRUNGPA, Volume Seven, page 339.

The next salty wave, washing away a heart drawn in beach sand diminishes not the love that placed it there...

The soul that can speak with its eyes can also kiss with a gaze.
~Unknown~

... See there's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me.
~Gretchen Kemp~

Courage is to feel the daily daggers of relentless steel and keep on living.
~Douglas Malloch~

When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
~Billy Crystal~




If we adopt a self-centered approach to life, by which we attempt to use others for our own self interest, we might be able to gain temporary benefits, but in the long run we will not succeed in achieving even our personal happiness, and hope for the next life is out of the question.

What you should know about me ~

My husband and I are happily married. We've been together since 1981, not without challenges along the way, but always with mutual love and respect---both of which continue to grow.  In fact, it was my husband, Danny who brought me to this site in 2004.  I am certainly not the natural poet that he is, however I hope you enjoy reading my work.  Some of it's worth reading and some isn't...I hope you only find the worthy ones!  At the very least, each of my poems is my honest and humble attempt to express myself through the art of poetry.

Peace and Namaste,

~Lorena~
