“Girl Playing Guitar by Firelight” | Anthony Satori
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!'”
— Jack Kerouac
“Portrait of a Street Musician” (triptych) | Anthony Satori
“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”
— Osho
“Enjoy the Journey” | Anthony Satori
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
— Jawaharlal Nehru
“Dreamer” | Anthony Satori
“We are the music makers… we are the dreamers of dreams… we are the movers and shakers… of the world, forever, it seems.”
— Arthur O’Shaughnessy
“Summer Wind” | Anthony Satori
“I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart’s affections, and the truth of imagination.”
— John Keats
“Awake” | Anthony Satori
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
— Buddha
“Mysterious Ways” | Anthony Satori
“Life unfolds itself in mysterious ways.”
— Khalil Gibran
“Expansive Consciousness” | Anthony Satori
It presents quite a conundrum, actually. As conscious beings — that is, as actual living incarnations of Consciousness itself — we are truly vast. Beyond immense, in fact. But in terms of our physical place in the universe? We are utterly miniscule. Smaller than the smallest sub-atomic particle measured against the breadth and depth of the ocean. It is a remarkable paradox to hold in one’s mind. It is both exhilarating and humbling, empowering and awe-inspiring, all at the same time.
The solution to this riddle, it seems, is simply to live each day immersed in the humble, quiet gratitude that derives from having been given this extraordinary gift — the gift of a soul, a spirit, a body — the gift of Consciousness, the gift of Life. Strive also, however, to live each day tapped into the vastness of your deep, infinite spiritual Being, channeling this pure, immense source of energy into making yourself a conduit of light, wonder, compassion, and Love.
“Sun Kissed” | Anthony Satori
“Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.”
— Henry James
“Gorilla” | Anthony Satori
I’ve had the good fortune to photograph gorillas on a number of occasions, and they are nothing less than amazing, majestic creatures. When you look into their eyes — and they look back into yours — it is impossible not to feel that there is a soul behind them. Intelligence, consciousness, self-awareness, compassion — it is all there, in remarkable dimension.
