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)
Only You
“Horse with Braided Mane” | Anthony Satori
“In a way, you’ve already won in this world, because you’re the only one who can be you.”
– Fred Rogers
Year of the Fire Horse
“Horse and Wheel” | Anthony Satori
We recently crossed over into the Lunar New Year. According to the Chinese zodiac, we are now in the year of the Fire Horse. This is an image of energy and beauty, strength and grace. Whatever you do this year, do it with all of your heart and mind. Find and ignite your inner Fire Horse!
Proceed with Optimism
“Lights of Cannes (France)” | Anthony Satori
“For quality of life, it is better to err on the side of being an optimist and wrong, rather than a pessimist and right.”
– Elon Musk
Imagine Sisyphus Happy
“Glove on Stairs” | Anthony Satori
“The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
– Albert Camus
A Portal to the Mind of God
“Sunset Arc” | Anthony Satori
Stay connected with nature, it is a portal to the mind of God. Take a walk outside in the morning and feel the sunshine on your face. Take off your shoes in the park and feel the earth beneath your feet. Walk outside at night and breathe the coolness of the air. Stare up at the moon and the stars and feel their mystical light at play in the sky and upon the objects around you. Interact with your dog or cat in a mindful, attentive way – talk to them, pet them, look into their eyes, and realize that there is a spirit behind those eyes, looking back at you. Go where there are trees and notice the color of the leaves, the movements and sounds of the birds, the changing of the seasons. Go to the ocean or to a river and walk along the edge of the shore, breathing the air, listening to the movement of the water. Take the time to watch a sunset – to really watch a sunset – from start to finish. There are a multitude of life-affirming gifts all around us, if we are just willing to slow down, seek them out, and mindfully experience them.
Happy New Year, everyone. I wish you all a year filled with health, happiness, and life-affirming experiences around every turn.
Sacred Awe
“Golden Eyes” | Anthony Satori
“I felt deep within me that the highest point a man can attain is not Knowledge or Virtue or Goodness or Victory, but something even greater, more heroic and more inspiring: Sacred Awe.”
– Nikos Kazantzakis
And the beauty of it is this: The very experiencing of Sacred Awe, in turn, inspires a deep hunger for knowledge, virtue, and goodness.
Supreme Happiness
“Dolphins” | Anthony Satori
“Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness.”
– Chuang Tzu
Relax. Exist fully in this moment. This is enough. You are enough. This moment is a miracle. Find the love in it, find the peace in it, find the joy in it. It is often the frantic chasing of happiness that makes us the most miserable. Instead, just sit back, breathe, and calm your mind. Be grateful. Be amazed. Be content. “From contentment, supreme happiness is obtained.” (Patanjali,Yoga Sutra 2.42) It is only when we learn to relax into true contentment that any real, lasting happiness can appear and manifest itself.
Unchained
“Unchained” | Anthony Satori
“If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will lead you to achieve mastery.”
– John Paul Jones
