    About this ebook

    The Moon Taught Me is a powerful collection of poetry that describes the author's journey through love, heartbreak, darkness, and her search for the light. It is a deeply spiritual and honest depiction of the highs and lows of love, overcoming trauma, reconciling inherited ancestral pain, and discovering self-love through acceptance. This book is for the empaths, the dreamers, the healers, the misfits, and the lovers in this world. The people who feel.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      The Moon Taught Me - Marine Ashnalikyan

      cover.jpg

      I write to fulfill one of God’s callings on my life. I write to express myself and the world around me. I write to portray the beauty in humanity through our shared experiences. We love, we break. We face darkness. We search for the light. And if you are lucky, as I have been, you will face your dark night of the soul. It will force you to find the light. It will force you to come face to face with your Creator. To find out who you are. To enter your Awakening.

      I breathe life into this book. My life. My stories. I hope that with each page, and with each breath, you are inspired to look deep within. I hope you are inspired to be honest with yourself. To gain more understanding of who you are. And I hope you gain the courage to pursue the purpose for which you have been created.

      For all you dreamers,

      May you enter your Awakening and

      make your dreams come to life.

      "Whoever you are, now I place my hand upon

      you, that you be my poem,

      I whisper with my lips close to your ear,

      I have loved many women and men, but I love

      none better than you."

      Walt Whitman
