My name is
Lorena Bowser. I'm an artist. Also a writer. Also a poet. Also - a
believer that all things are possible and everything comes in it's own
time - the good and the bad - to our eventual benefit. After a
successful language career of many years, I decided, ten years ago, to
dedicate my time exclusively to my art. This decision greatly reduced
my income, while enlarging my world and my happiness. What can
I say: you can't buy happiness with money. I would like to share the
wealth (the happiness part). Have something to say? Come blog with me here. I look forward to "meeting" you!
A bit of bio: I was born in California, the recipient of much love from the moment of my birth. This is the most important part of my bio, for it is love that has been the ruling force of my life from the very beginning. At 18, I left home to study in France at the Ecole Superieur de Preparation et de Perfectionnement de Professeurs de Francais a l'Etranger, in Paris. Imposing, isn't it. It's just where I learned to be a French teacher. I later married in Mexico and lived there 20 years, where I worked as a language teacher, interpreter, and illustrator while raising my family. Returned to the States in '83 and continued an outreach and language career until I became an artist. Did I leave anything out? Of course. I save the details for those who are genuinely interested. You'll find them on the Author's Preview page of Prose and Cons, with new chapters rotating in and out monthly. One day, I hope to have it all together in a book.
Back to "love". Let me explain: Greek philosophers (who had it right before we did), present us with three levels of love: Charity, Brotherly, and Passionate. The latter is self-explanatory and an obvious need for the population count. Brotherly love is higher, and is pretty much based on the Golden Rule. It is Charity that has been misunderstood. The meaning has been demoted by our society to the place of Brotherly love, but it is nothing of the sort: It is on a level with God, Himself. We are not capable of Caritas (the Latin word encompasses its true meaning), unless it is first given to us by God. To make a long story short, even as I have known the first two forms of love, it is Caritas alone that has ruled my life. I have come full circle through a life time of "doing my own thing", to realize that such has been true from the very beginning. My art, and life, are the expression of Caritas, and nothing more. If I have been successful in anything at all, it is not I who earned the credit.
