Predicting Rain
“Tall Glass” | Anthony Satori
“Predicting rain doesn’t count. Building arks does.”
– Warren Buffett
The True Jacob
“Educated Guess” | Anthony Satori
“Quantum mechanics demands serious attention. But an inner voice tells me that this is not the true Jacob. The theory accomplishes a lot, but it does not bring us closer to the secrets of the Old One. In any case, I am convinced that He does not play dice.”
– Albert Einstein
The Spiritual Path
“Red-Tailed Hawk” | Anthony Satori
“Down through the ages, there has always been the spiritual path. It’s been passed on – it always will be – and if anybody ever wants it in any era, it’s always there.”
– George Harrison
Mystic Salt
“Mystic Salt” | Anthony Satori
Behold the humble salt packet. Salt has been, at various times, used as a seasoning, a form of currency, a food preservative, and as a spiritual charm/talisman believed to bring good luck and to provide protection from evil spirits. Salt is a vital nutrient for our health: without it we simply cannot live. It is an essential element of our oceans, home to over two-thirds of the living creatures on this planet. And it has been culturally and economically instrumental throughout human history. Is there anything salt cannot do?
Time Itself
“Misty Evening” | Anthony Satori
“Time unused still vanishes, as if time itself is starving, and each day is swallowed whole, leaving no crumbs.”
– Elisabeth Tova Bailey
Treasure each day. Every moment of life is a gift. Whenever you can, whatever you are doing, strive to look for something to appreciate, to enjoy, to feel wonder about, to be grateful for. Our lives are enriched by the quality of our mindful attention.
Trust the Creator
“Clarion” | Anthony Satori
“All that I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all that I have not seen.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
I wish everyone a very Happy New Year, filled with health, prosperity, joy, and love!
The Closest Ones
“Tree of Light” | Anthony Satori
“Love begins by taking care of the closest ones, the ones at home.”
– Mother Teresa
I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! May your days be filled with warmth, peace, and love.
Peace
“Red Flowers” | Anthony Satori
“He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.”
– Goethe
Be Love
“Be Love” | Anthony Satori
“The child learns to speak, not because it has learned teachers, but because it lives with those who know how to speak.”
– Lao Tzu
The great Taoist Master Lao Tzu was telling us not only how a child learns to speak, but he was also giving us a powerful metaphor for so many other things. The human being learns the Tao in this same way: not from great teachers, but from living among those who already know the Tao. This is also how each one of us learns how to truly live well: how to think, act, and speak with compassion and common sense, how to create things of value, how to find inner calm and peace, how to cultivate healthy relationships with others, how to live with enthusiasm and authenticity, and how to give and receive help and knowledge with an open heart. We learn these things from living among those who already know how to do them. And, perhaps most importantly of all, the human heart learns how to love and to be loved, in this manner, as well. We learn this by living in a family, in a community, and in a society that already understands how to do this. Once we realize this fact, it becomes incredibly clear why it is of such vital importance for each one of us to strive to preserve and cultivate these values in our own lives, in our own families, and in our own communities. We each form a vital link in the chain toward a better and more beautiful world.
