Visitation of Beauty

“Visitation of Beauty”  |  Anthony Satori

One afternoon, a leaf fluttered down from the sky and landed softly on the window of my car.  I remained silent and still, quietly watching as it clung timidly to the edge of the window, simply enjoying its delicate beauty, wondering just how it might have made such an unlikely journey.  After a few moments, I pulled out my camera and took a photograph.  I then looked down, for just a breath, to prepare my camera for another shot.  When I looked up, the leaf was gone.  I hadn’t even seen it go. It had flown away on another gentle breeze, just as quickly and quietly as it had arrived.

Enjoy every moment, my friends.  Find the good in life, every day, and pull it close to your heart.

The Divine Spark

“Seven Hills”  |  Anthony Satori

“The poet existed among the cave men; he will exist among men of the atomic age, for he is an inherent part of man.  The need for poetry… is a spiritual need, and it is through the grace of poetry that the divine spark lives forever in the human flint.”

— Saint-John Perse

There is a spiritual need for art, poetry, music, literature, etc.  Dreamers and their dreams, creators and their creations, seekers and their insights, lovers and the acts which arise from love — these are the vessels of the divine spark of the human spirit.

“Horses in a Field”  |  Anthony Satori

“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”

— John Burroughs

“The way of the creative works so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the great harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.”

— I Ching

Walking on Water

“Walking on Water”  |  Anthony Satori

If you are a biologist, you see variations of life everywhere.  If you are a chemist, you see chemical reactions everywhere.  If you are an artist, you see beauty everywhere.  We choose our filters and we cultivate our lenses, and what’s amazing is the Universe seems perfectly content to accommodate our expectations.

So choose your filters carefully — they play a significant role in the creation of your world.

“Like Water”  |  Anthony Satori

Embrace life with gratitude and joy.  Seek beauty and goodness in every moment.  The Tao of Happiness is not concerned with grasping at preconceived notions, but rather with finding the Flow, like water, and immersing oneself in it with enthusiasm and calm.

Tree of Light

“Tree of Light”  |  Anthony Satori

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”

— Aristotle

Trees and flowers have a deep thirst for light.  Light is their food, their nourishment, their essential source of life.  So whenever you see a thriving tree or flower — even if it is hidden under the dark of night, or enfolded in shadows — it is, in reality, filled to the edges with the life-giving energy of light.
