Lorenzo of Morden
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I was born in Winnipeg to a firefighter father and homemaker mother, and I was the lone boy alongside three sisters. I was a shy, quiet kid with a mostly pretty average upbringing, but I was one of the 'geeks - nerds (and every other variation - I was called them all). I took a lot of teasing and abuse, but that's helped shape me into the person I am today - basically a nice, caring guy who doesn't like to judge and wants to always keep an open mind. I eventually landed in Morden (2006 pop. of about 6,800) and landed a great, incredible wife. While my low paying, low reward job is the source of much frustration, I have come to very much appreciate living and working in the country. It is the best of both worlds, being about an hour and a half from Winnipeg. My wife Michelle and I crave travel and expanding our horizons. And while I try to figure myself out some more, my spiritual faith journey continues. I am sure God has been very frustrated with me, and I wouldn't blame him for losing patience ... I don't know what awaits for me or what my calling may be, but ... "a good traveller has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." (Lao Tzu).

Will someone save me
save me
give my soul
a helping hand
Help me
help revive and cure
this hopeless man
Find me
find exactly what I am

If I let a little light
into this safe
dark world
think what I'ld see
was frightening?
Behind the walls
that I've built
hiding me from
that feeling
alone
alone

If your hand
plucks me out
from obscurity
turns me around
face my insecurity
Would I have the strength
to change my ways
and not be alone

Beyond the Gate - A Poem
BEYOND THE GATE
I watch them
soaring up so high
and I wonder
what is it like
to be
so free
from the shackles
that bind you
free
from those voices
that haunt you
be sensible
be safe
why must you look beyond the gate
into the world
of hate
insecurities
pushing and pulling
tugging at you
screaming
They try to paint you
colours
melding into sharp tones
it stabs you
but
beyond the gate
a flash
just a split second
a reflection
from within you
you know
It is time.
