“Artemis”  |  Anthony Satori

“Isn’t it astonishing that all these secrets [of nature] have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them?”

— Orville Wright, co-inventor of the first airplane. (1903)

Nature holds so many wonderful mysteries.  It’s like a giant cosmic Easter Egg hunt that has been carefully set in place for us to enjoy, and I picture a benevolent Creator just sitting back and watching, with pleasure and pride, as we seek — and gradually discover — the endless gifts and surprises that have been hidden for us throughout nature, around the universe, and even within our own souls.

Historical Note:  This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which sent two American astronauts to walk on the moon for the first time in human history.  Just this week, as well, a brand new mission has been announced by NASA, scheduled to return humans to the moon by 2024.  This new mission is called Artemis.  In Greek mythology, Artemis is the godess of wilderness, exploration, archery, and the moon.  She is also the twin sister of Apollo.

“Restful Contours”  |  Anthony Satori

“A finely tempered nature longs to escape from one’s noisy, cramped surroundings into the silence of the high mountains, where the eye ranges freely through the still, pure air and fondly traces out the restful contours apparently built for eternity.”

— Albert Einstein

“Tree in a Field of Yellow Flowers”  |  Anthony Satori

“The temple bell stops, but I still hear the sound coming out of the flowers.”

— Matsuo Basho

Our connection with God does not have to begin and end at the temple door.  If we pay attention, watch closely, and listen carefully, we will find it vibrating throughout everything around us.BlogImage-footd2

“Awakening”  |  Anthony Satori

“That is the real spiritual awakening, when something emerges from within you that is deeper than who you thought you were.  So, the person is still there, but one could almost say that something more powerful shines through the person.”

— Eckhart Tolle

“Everness”  |  Anthony Satori

Strive to find happiness, gratitude, and inspiration in whatever good you may have in your life, right here, right now.  This is the Everness of Zen.

[a poem]

There is no need to hurry to get there,

because there is only more here waiting there.

There is always more beauty in life when you love,

because even all becomes more when it’s shared.

There is no need to look too far forward or back,

because only now holds the essence of everness.

Find pleasure and calm in your presence of mind,

and your life won’t get lost into neverness.
