“Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all, those who live without love.” -Albus DumbledoreTumblr (3.0; @lorenie)http://lorenie.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz1qvyueg11r29t5yo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/19911112550http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/19911112550Sun, 25 Mar 2012 16:14:09 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx5234lJYG1qe52v7o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/19603511277http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/19603511277Mon, 19 Mar 2012 21:15:06 -0400“Death is nothing at all – I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you always used. Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.<br/> Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without the ghost of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant… There is absolutely unbroken continuity.<br/> Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you – for an interval – somewhere near just around the corner. All is well.”<br/><br/> - <em>Henry Scott Holland, professor of divinity, Oxford University (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://so-move.tumblr.com/">so-move</a>)</em>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/17133340899http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/17133340899Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:49:33 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyxrjkppfF1r92nd0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/17133126427http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/17133126427Sun, 05 Feb 2012 21:45:47 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsjot0c2pc1qfdjvro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16960484136http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16960484136Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:20:58 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyci6yn10H1qaox0zo1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyci6yn10H1qaox0zo2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyci6yn10H1qaox0zo3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyci6yn10H1qaox0zo4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyci6yn10H1qaox0zo5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16894867227http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16894867227Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:27:16 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyl77a10zv1qj3oh1o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16784150207http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16784150207Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:18:07 -0500<p>Tomorrow I&#8217;ll wake up</p> <p>and do something productive. </p>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16743375128http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16743375128Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:58:00 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvelmy2q0r1qhg14go1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16743012248http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16743012248Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:51:54 -0500<p>I over-analyze every detail of this life. </p> <p>I should stop.</p> <p>Once I finish analyzing how in the world I&#8217;ll be able to do that.</p>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16741637463http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16741637463Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:29:30 -0500<p>I&#8217;m not quite sure what to go on about</p> <p>as my mind seems to be sinking.</p> <p>Maybe I&#8217;ll sing a morning bird&#8217;s song </p> <p>through the branches of the trees</p> <p>and the wind of the air. </p> <p>Or maybe I&#8217;ll proclaim another love story</p> <p>of impeccable romance,</p> <p>a once-upon-a-time</p> <p>of two souls running away into eternity. </p> <p>It&#8217;s possible I&#8217;ll simply wallow </p> <p>in the depths of this life </p> <p>of its treacherous storms </p> <p>and disdainful tears.</p> <p>Or maybe I&#8217;ll dance beneath</p> <p>the cloudless sky</p> <p>through a field of colors and creatures</p> <p>basking in the camouflaged beauty of our world.</p> <p>Perhaps I&#8217;ll take a swim through the galaxy,</p> <p>through the moon and the stars </p> <p>and jump from planet to plant</p> <p>just to see what other life there is.</p> <p>Or maybe, just maybe,</p> <p>I&#8217;ll just sit inside these four walls</p> <p>hidden from the rest of humanity</p> <p>wondering what I have yet to see,</p> <p>waiting for another thought to form into an art,</p> <p>waiting, just waiting, for the very best part. </p>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16740795495http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16740795495Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:16:21 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1IAhDGYlpqY?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16707475120http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16707475120Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:38:04 -0500<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/I4OK9DmLpCY?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16707454916http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16707454916Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:37:44 -0500<p>It&#8217;s nice to simply sit in bed and forget about the world. Time for yourself to ponder your future and to wonder what great things are in store. Time to just stare at the wall and let your mind run blank. Time to escape from other people and just sit in silence. Time to think about others - people you need to reconnect with, people you need to see. Time to plan your day, your week, your entire life. Time to simply sit and have a conversation in your mind about anything imaginable, without interruptions, without disagreement. Just you. </p>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16638879697http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16638879697Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:19:45 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ls9hl9K1KG1qb2fmwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16638091632http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16638091632Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:02:20 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ly9s8fkF1l1qd4q01o1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16615865243http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16615865243Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:36:53 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpl6eoAtTK1qzhokmo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16615676648http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16615676648Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:33:26 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt1g3bq2uS1qhzv6oo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16615594565http://lorenie.tumblr.com/post/16615594565Fri, 27 Jan 2012 22:31:00 -0500“<p>A great teacher can offer an escape from poverty to the child who dreams beyond his circumstance. Every person in this chamber can point to a teacher who changed the trajectory of their lives.
