“Invincible Summer”  |  Anthony Satori

“My dear, in the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love.
In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile.
In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm.
I realized, through it all, that…
In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy.
For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me,
within me, there’s something stronger —
something better, pushing right back.”

— Albert Camus

“Four Flowers”  |  Anthony Satori

“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment.  I want to give that world to someone else.  Most people… rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower.  I want them to see it.”

— Georgia O’Keeffe

“Grace”  |  Anthony Satori

“Infuse your life with action.  Don’t wait for it to happen.  Make it happen.  Make your own future.  Make your own hope.  Make your own love.  And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen… yourself, right now, right here.”

— Bradley Whitford

“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

“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
