This means I'm one of the Daily Poets.

My name is Matthew Richard Busch.

I'm a novelist, short storyteller, poet, music composer & producer, pencil sketcher, nature photographer, experimental mover, philosopher, empath, lover, protector of life, natural mystic, and creator of his own religion. I aspire to become all these things in their fullness.

Here are some words I keep close.

-Rei Ayanami (Evangelion)

“When we embark on the great ocean of discovery, the horizon of the unknown advances with us and surrounds us wherever we go. The more we know, the greater we find is our ignorance.”

"The posture of the body is important, here and now: minor discomforts are instructive."

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
-Buddha

"Jesus said, 'For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.'"
-John 9:39

“The safest road to hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”
-C. S. Lewis

"Opposition is not necessarily enmity; it is merely misused and made an occasion for enmity."
-Sigmund Freud

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."

“Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”

“The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.”
-Orison Swett Marden

“As your final lesson, Aegis…Each hero needs a villain. Their foil, their mirror. To view the person they could have been, no, the person they still can be. To look into the face of a villain is to look into a reflection of yourself after one decision.”

"Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up."

-Griffith

"That’s why, when I’m overwhelmed by the other sounds so much I want to disappear, I listen for my sound: the sound of lava, which can melt anything. Nothing can withstand it. It can melt fear..."
