“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.”

Stardust by 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.”

“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.”

“My writing is a playground for self-examination, self-reflection and philosophical interplay. I debate with myself as I write and the outcome is never predestined. I flirt with new ideas and old tales of wisdom, never really settling into one frame but rather enjoying the entire picture, even the odd brushstrokes and frayed edges. The universe is such a creative space and the joy I feel when floating in this galactic sea of creativity is unmatched by any measure of intelligence we know of.”
Lavinia Busch

“We all have deep and painful scars, some visible with others lurking within our shadow self. My guess would be the deepest of scars, those hidden from others, are strewn with ragged edges and steep plunging cliffs. It is these scars that shape us just as the gorge and canyon were shaped many millions of years ago. So very significant are the wounds responsible, that fantastic wells of strength must have been required by the natural world to overcome.”
Lavinia Busch, Mystic Cookie

“I remember telling myself to just let go and I clearly remember the moment when my heart finally heard the message and doubt became decision, fear became motivation.”
Lavinia Busch

“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.”
Lavinia Busch, Stardust

“Craving a story from my past, I focus on this ache
Words begin to creep out of every joint,
Pieced together by a loose string of remembrance.”
Lavinia Busch, Stardust

“The passing sound of the wind gently draws me back,
Wings from above beat against all resistance
For a moment, I wish to soar, challenging this earthen gravity
For a moment I wish to fall into the breath of the wind and float there.”
Lavinia Busch, Stardust

“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.”
