Your One Wild and Precious Life

“Sacred Awe” | Anthony Satori

“I don’t know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

– Mary Oliver

Happy New Year, everyone! May you have health, happiness, peace, and prosperity – and, above all, love – in this, your one wild and precious life.

Joy, Wonder, and Amazement

“Gingerbread Man” | Anthony Satori

“Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.”

– Plato

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I wish you all an abundance of joy, wonder, and amazement in your lives.

Your Own Life’s Meaning

“Sketchbook” | Anthony Satori

“Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess, a person happy doing their own work is usually considered eccentric, if not subversive. Cultivate resources within yourself that bring you happiness outside of what others define as success and failure. To invent your own life’s meaning is not easy, but I think you’ll be happier for the trouble.”

– Bill Watterson (creator of the comic strip, Calvin and Hobbes)
