Only with the Heart

“On the Water” –|– Anthony Satori

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

— Antoine de Saint-Exupery

On the Wings of the Night Wind

“Doves” –|– Anthony Satori

“Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind, and I don’t worry about my destiny.”

— Carl Sandburg

Don’t worry about destiny. It is beyond our reach, and it can be overwhelming. Instead, slow down, take a deep breath, and focus on this moment. In this day, in this hour, in this minute, pay attention and be present. And then consciously choose to do something meaningful, something beautiful, something loving, something constructive — however small it may be. It is the cumulative effect of these choices over time that create a valued destiny. Legacy is built one brick at a time. It is built by showing up every day, by paying attention, and by consciously infusing your time and space — your words, your thoughts, and your actions — with optimism, creativity, gratitude and love.

That Which Is

“Bathed in Light” –|– Anthony Satori

“My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience, extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images, that it might find out what that light was wherein it was bathed. And thus, with the flash of one hurried glance, it attained to the vision of That Which Is.”

— Saint Augustine
