“Imagination Itself” | Anthony Satori

— William Blake

“Keep the Light” | Anthony Satori
“Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.”

The world rushes in a torrent around us. Slow down and take a breath. Take the time to feel where you are, who you are with, and the many wonderful things that you have to be grateful for. Savor this moment — every detail of it hides something beautiful.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

“Daydreams” | Anthony Satori
“I had daydreams and fantasies… I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse into town and pick up provisions. I would then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player, and peace.”
— Linda McCartney
A warm fireplace. Your favorite music playing. A peaceful state of mind. Sometimes what may seem like the most simple of dreams can also be the most beautiful. And what makes them even better is to know that, with a bit of attention, heart and hard work, those kinds of aspirations have the potential of becoming real. And there are few things in life more rewarding than striving toward a heartfelt dream, and then having the chance to share the living of that dream with the ones that you love.
“Wish Full” | Anthony Satori
“There’s enough pain in the world. Do this work with love — with sincerity and truth and honesty — and you will do good work.”
— Jerry Lewis
“Dream the Myth Onward” | Anthony Satori
“Even the best attempts at explanation [of an image] are only more or less successful translations into another metaphorical language. Indeed, language itself is only an image. The most we can do is dream the myth onward.”
— C. G. Jung
