    Hands clasped
    Hearts a fire
    No more waiting
    Only beginnings
    This throne, this family
    this world of curious possibilities.

    “Whatever comes out of the mind,
    Regard not that as poetry.
    When the true poetry comes,
    No such question exists.”

    Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
    [from “The Victoria Memorial,” Mudra,1969]
