“Cityscape” –|– Anthony Satori
“Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.”
— Petrarch
“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.

“Piercing the Darkness” –|– Anthony Satori

“Gentle Rain” –|– Anthony Satori
“There is peace, even in the storm.”
— Vincent van Gogh
“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
“Peaceful Cottage” –|– Anthony Satori
“To meditate means to go home to yourself. Then you know how to take care of the things that are happening inside you, and you know how to take care of the things that happen around you.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
“Benevolent Light” | Anthony Satori
Every day, every moment, the universe is patiently waiting for us to pull softly on the strings of the blinds and let its light flow in. Take a deep breath, calm your thoughts, and center your spirit. And then mindfully take action toward something good. Take action toward love, hope, kindness. Take action toward health, joy, deeper understanding. Even the smallest such act, done with a genuine heart, is an invitation for the universe to immerse us in its benevolent light.
