“The full moon pulls closer and waves of Melancholy tease a merciless shore Sand slowly slips through each crest forming Cold and unwanted fingers of indifference.” SadnessPoetry QuotesMysticismMelancholy Book:Stardust Source: Stardust
“Life is messy. We spend the lion’s share of our days trying to clean it up, wrapping it all in a pretty bow to present as unstressed as possible. The worst scenario is in showing the ugliness of it all, the dirt and grime that makes us human. There is never any way to avoid the mess, it is only in the mud when truths are told, and destinies revealed.” LifeDestinyMysticism Author:Lavinia Busch
“When my final moment arrives and I am moving toward the stars, I will gladly release the cords of connection to this place and fly freely to the next. It is only among the stardust and embers of the ancient that peaceful hearts reside. It is only in giving up the repeat of a single sunset that one captures the universe.” DeathUniverseMysticismStardustSpiritulism Book:Stardust Source: Stardust
“By stating my dreams and listening to my intuition, I honor the Divine within me. This builds layer upon layer of confidence over the heaps of “not good enough” that have littered my subconscious for years.

“Life, just as in writing, begins with the stories we tell ourselves. We “write” an idea of who we are, what we do and how our life should evolve. It is often quite a surprise when our story veers off into uncharted territory.” LifeSpiritualityMysticism Author:Lavinia Busch
“Wandering the earth awake, I refuse to be claimed by any one disposition. Rather than walking on either side of a flowing spring, I prefer to walk down the middle with playful waves nipping at my ankles and murky depths below. It is only when in this between, that I feel most like myself. Never one to find any particular identity that fits, I prefer to look to the stars even when my feet are firmly planted on the ground. The unrest that accompanies me is never far behind and the disappointment in my flawed humanness is sometimes too much to bear.” LifeSpiritualityWaterHuman Author:Lavinia Busch
“Reading Rilke's quote above, it is clear his work will forever touch the delicate nerves of my sensitivity, unbinding them from places in which they have been hiding. I don't need to know all the answers anymore. My understanding of things unknown is inherent to who I am and allows me to walk up the stairway of life unencumbered by walls of uncertainty. While this esoteric sensibility does not provide instructions for the day to day operations of living, it allows a comfortable understanding that “home” will be attainable in due time. Remaining patient during this process is my life lesson and one I have been asked to embrace fully. It is up to me to let go and allow.” LifeDeathSpiritualityMysticismRilke Author:Lavinia Busch
“I dreamt of you last night. This is not the first time you have visited me in a dream, forgiveness being such a difficult pill to swallow. Just when you think it's done, you find yourself choking on the remnants of bitterness.” DreamsForgiveness Author:Lavinia Busch
