Because hubby taught me, I can now write anyone an email and bring Hope. What a great great skillful mean to have learned: how to tell a story AT ALL TIME. I am not an opinion and I have no opinion. Therefore, stories speak through my pen.

I have written under so many different names over the last 10 years. Karma Shenpen Lhamo, lilou Volage,  Nadia Ferland, Anna, Laurence, and my full civic name. Oh yes, and now I have also Lilou Sage as the ripening pen of a young Volage. Do you see how this practice (pen names) and letting go of the ego can all intertwine to liberate the mind? You have no opinion to yourself, you just write write write.  You do not identify anymore with one SOLID idea of yourself: you allow yourself literally to multiply. This is how, although I started by using my many christian names given at birth, I discovered soon that there was way more possibilities than what I had known up to now as to who I could be. 

By writing with the IDEA that no one will recognize you, you write with a more silent heart. So you pour your FULL heart out. Soon, you have become a writer and you realize someone in the world  maybe feeling like you. You reread all your writings (especially if you are not a good skillful reader but an ok writer).  You feel the word on the page, but it comes form your pen. Yet no one knows . Ego quiets enough to TURLY let you explore and discover the freedom of the Word. Hiding from the world of samsara by having  two or three pen names 101.
