“Sincere Longing” | Anthony Satori
“Only the wise know just where predestination ends and free will begins. Meanwhile, you must keep on doing your best, according to your own clearest understanding. You must long for freedom as the drowning man longs for air. Without sincere longing, you will never find God.”
— Paramahansa Yogananda
“Hearth” | Anthony Satori
“And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And they listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows.
And the people began to think differently. And the people healed… And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again… they made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live.”
— Kitty O’Meara
“Hello” | Anthony Satori
“Some people talk to animals. Not very many listen, though. That’s the problem.”
— A. A. Milne

— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
“Tiger Soul” | Anthony Satori
“The substance from which I am made… is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.”
— Jorge Luis Borges
“Squirrel with Half a Donut” | Anthony Satori
“How do animals understand things? I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul.”
— Frances Hodgson Burnett
“Bloom” | Anthony Satori
“The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
“Quiet and Still” | Anthony Satori
“To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet and still.”
— Jiddu Krishnamurti
