“Walden House II (Interior)”  |  Anthony Satori

“Walden House III”  |  Anthony Satori

“The snow had already covered the ground… and surrounded me suddenly with the scenery of winter.  I withdrew yet farther into my shell, and endeavored to keep a bright fire both within my house and within my breast.”

“How to Fly”  |  Anthony Satori

“When you get to the end of all the light you know and it’s time to step into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.”

— Edward Teller

“Golden”  |  Anthony Satori

“There was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before Heaven and Earth.  Soundless and formless, it depends on nothing and does not change.  It may be considered the mother of the universe.  I do not know its name;  I call it Tao.”

— Lao Tzu

“Exuberance”  |  Anthony Satori

[a poem]

Today I sang, I saw beauty, I spoke poetry, I felt joy.

I held wonder and sunlight in my open hands, until they overflowed.

And then I set out in search of you, to share the treasures I’d found.
