The
Lost Memories is a precious collection of thirty-nine romantic poems
written by Supreme Master Ching Hai during the 1970s. This period
of Her life was one of love and loss, joy and heartbreak, longing
and satisfaction, and search and discovery.
The
journey on the path of Love portrayed in this volume encompasses
a wide spectrum of sensations from intense passion to deep reflection.
Each poem is filled with rich imagery and lyricism resonating with
thoughts, feelings and experiences common to all of humanity. Sweet
memories rekindled by falling leaves, a lost bird wending its way
homeward, the sound of raindrops--all are expressed with the utmost
simplicity and tenderness. Master's innermost feelings about romantic
love, human relations, spiritual devotion, and the ephemeral nature
of life are revealed with both power and charm.
Woven
into the book's wide range of emotions is a consistent theme that
forms a gentle backdrop for each poem: the omnipresence of Divine
Love, the inspiration for Master Ching Hai's lifelong search for
Truth. Through these tender poems, Supreme Master Ching Hai brings
us new hope that, although our existence may be intertwined with
joy and sorrow, rapture and suffering, peaks and valleys, the way
back to True Love is always at hand.
We
hope that "The Lost Memories" will remain a constant companion
through the years, being by your side during each high and low point,
and helping you find peace, love, and spiritual insight on your
life's journey.
