Joy for Living
“Tortoise Laughing” | Anthony Satori

Focus and Simplicity
“Focus and Simplicity” | Anthony Satori

– Steve Jobs
Wild Creatures

Staring Backward in Time
“Triceratops” | Anthony Satori
“Staring at the stars is like staring backward in time, since some stars are so far away that their light takes millions of years just to reach us. We see stars not as they look now, but as they were when dinosaurs roamed the earth: the whole concept just strikes me as amazing somehow.”
– Nicholas Sparks
Spaceship Earth
“Blue Deck” | Anthony Satori
“The thing that changed for me, looking back at Earth, was that I found myself noticing not only the beauty of Earth, but how much blackness there was around it and how that made it even more special. I know I haven’t learned everything that this journey has yet to teach me, but there is one new thing that I know, and that is: Planet Earth, you are a crew. When you see Earth from space, you realize that we are all one crew.”
– Christina Koch, Astronaut (Mission Specialist, Artemis II, 2026)
The Point of Life
“Lizard” | Anthony Satori
“And remember, the point of life is not to be the smartest person in the room. It is to understand things. To figure out how nature works. To do your part with the time you have.”
– Richard P. Feynman
