“Sincere Longing” | Anthony Satori

“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
“Hello” | Anthony Satori
