"If I had my life to live over again, I would form the habit of nightly composing myself to thoughts of death. I would practice, as it were, the remembrance of death. There is not another practice which so intensifies life. Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life."

"If you knew what you will know when your candle has burnt low, it would greatly ease your plight while your candle still burns bright." -Piet Hein #mementomorimondays #mementomori #monday #piethein #skull #death #candlewisdom (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo9H3vvlTA2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kpj8yhcl4xu

The left side of the body relates to the feminine and the right side, the masculine. Honoring and connecting to the Divine Feminine is an act of worship, not only to oneself, but also to the Divine Mother — the essence of all creation and the god of your own distinct understanding of the universe. 💋 mementomorimondays #mementomori #monday #newmoon #thedivinefeminine (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BorLm7nFo8T/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rmddb39luhj6

"Death is the liberator of him whom freedom cannot release, the physician of him whom medicine cannot cure, and the comforter of him whom time cannot console." - Charles Caleb Colton #mementomorimondays #mementomori #monday #skeleton #october https://www.instagram.com/p/BoZG5S6l_X5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gwlpzn4onnth

"The cemetery is an open space among the ruins, covered in winter with violets and daisies. It might make one in love with death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place." -Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonais #mementomorimondays #mementomori #monday #percyshelley #cemetery (at St Andrews Cathedral)

"Death consists, indeed, in a repeated process of unrobing, or unsheathing. The immortal part of man shakes off from itself, one after the other, its outer casings, and - as the snake from its skin, the butterfly from its chrysalis - emerges from one after another, passing into a higher state of consciousness." Annie Besant 🐍💀💋 #mementomorimondays #mementomori #monday #anniebesant #snake #skeleton (at New York, New York)
