The Deep, Beautiful Mystery of the Universe
“Butterflies” | Anthony Satori
“Giddy grasshopper \ Take care \ Do not leap and crush \ These pearls of dewdrop.”
– Kobayashi Issa
Be gentle with yourself. Show yourself patience. Handle yourself with kindness. The human heart is deep and tender, and it ought to be surrounded by love, even immersed in it. Let us take care to do this for each other, every day. Let us also not forget to do this for ourselves. Being human is not easy. This journey is not for the faint of heart. Every day that you make it through – perhaps having endured some sadness, hopefully having experienced some joy – is a good day, worthy of celebration. Well done! Don’t rush forward. Take it slowly. Tomorrow is another day, another chance to wake up, to take a deep breath, and to engage again with the deep, beautiful mystery of the universe.
Divinity in All Things
“Divinity in All Things” | Anthony Satori

The Metamorphosis of Daphne
“Shining Beauty” | Anthony Satori
“Her prayer was scarcely done when a heavy numbness seized her limbs, a thin bark closed around her gentle bosom, and her hair became as moving leaves; her arms were changed into waving branches, and her feet – so swift a moment ago – stuck fast in slow-growing roots. Her face was lost in a canopy of encircling laurels. Only her shining beauty was left.”
– Ovid (The Metamorphoses)
Look Within
“Sandalwood” | Anthony Satori
“Find a place inside where there is joy, and joy will burn out the pain.”
– Joseph Campbell
Toward the Sunshine
“Burgundy Hot Rod” | Anthony Satori
“Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.”

Flowers of Light
“Flowers of Light” | Anthony Satori

Nature Does Not Hurry

The Sound of Colors
“Green Hot Rod” | Anthony Satori
“The sound of colors is so definite that it would be hard to find anyone who would express bright yellow with bass notes, or a dark lake with treble.”
– Wassily Kandinsky
Animal Magnetism
“Sleepy” | Anthony Satori
When an animal crawls up onto your lap and falls asleep, it is a sweet gesture of warmth and trust. Animals read people very purely, on both an intuitive and instinctive level. If a dog or a cat warms up to you, especially if it is soon after meeting you, it should be taken as a very high compliment, indeed.
