Enlightened coexistence that embodies tolerance provides the strength to manage a nation of diversity. This is an Eastern thought that has been successfully adopted by the West. Its implementation shapes granites that give strength to open the steel doors to peace and peace is the way to prosperity. The modern trend of globalization needs this strength. I mused in the boat of this strength when I wrote the poems of Shrine. I am musing more securely, and with more confidence, in the same boat when I revise Shrine after nine years. Revision is my forte. However, except for minor touches, most of the body of Shrine does not need any revisions. |
