“Hawk on a Lamp Post” | Anthony Satori

“The Middle Way” | Anthony Satori
“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”
– Lao Tzu
This is true. A good traveler also knows the direction they wish to go, and they continue to seek ways to keep themselves moving in that direction, each day.
On the one hand, our Good Traveler knows that the journey is the destination, and so they strive to remain present and grateful, each step of the way. On the other hand, they are also mindful and conscious in their choice of the direction they wish to go, and they continue to pursue this good and worthy aim with enthusiasm, clarity, and drive.
This is the middle way.
“A Happy Snail (After the Rain)” | Anthony Satori
“Anything you lavish with attention can become a mirror, a portal, a lens on the meaning of life – a dandelion, a muskrat, a mountain, a snail.”
– Maria Popova
