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)
The First Love of the World
“Flower of the Ages” | Anthony Satori

– W. H. Auden

The Movement of Thought and Feeling
“Black and Yellow Butterfly on Blue Flowers” | Anthony Satori
“Meditation is to be aware of every thought and of every feeling, never to say it is right or wrong, but just to watch it and move with it. In that watching, you begin to understand the whole movement of thought and feeling. And out of this awareness comes silence.”
– Jiddu Krishnamurti
