About Me
Paki lowered his lyre. “Some things are an outrage. You did not answer. He asked if you loved. We have spent time together. I have wondered. To be honest, I thought you enjoyed being with other men. Over time, I saw this was not the case. Still I have never seen you lust. You know my loves. I have many, sometimes two, three at a time. I easily fall. I could name many. A man of passion, I will probably be in love before the week is through.” Paki began playing the flute. Legion.
Writing Style
Actaeon entered. Nymphs cried, covering Artemis, hiding. Artemis, standing, cursed Actaeon to a stag, a meal for his hounds.
Interests
I write this as one who lost his freedom at 16, then lost his country at 24. Consequently, I have lived in exile for 50 plus years during which Tibetans have dedicated ourselves to keeping Tibetan identity alive, preserving our culture and values. DL

Favorite Music
Poor little rose beaten by the rain. In the wind and the gail thunder and the hail Sometimes I feel like I'm goin' insane Without the numbness of the pain so intense to feel, especially now when added up through the years. Ryan Adams, a favorite.
Favorite Movies
Cleopatra, true intellect, a unique gifted mind. A child, neglected, needy. Possessing pure intellect, seeking the library. What a presence, a child amongst scrolls. Her innocent voice, open energy, beckoning. The child a wizard with languages.
