A Good Traveler
“The Middle Way” | Anthony Satori
“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”
– Lao Tzu
This is true. A good traveler also knows the direction they wish to go, and they continue to seek ways to keep themselves moving in that direction, each day.
On the one hand, our Good Traveler knows that the journey is the destination, and so they strive to remain present and grateful, each step of the way. On the other hand, they are also mindful and conscious in their choice of the direction they wish to go, and they continue to pursue this good and worthy aim with enthusiasm, clarity, and drive.
This is the middle way.
Lord, Remember Me

“I am not going to heaven because I have preached to great crowds or because I’ve read the Bible many times. I’m going to heaven just like the thief on the cross who said in that last moment, ‘Lord, remember me.’”
– Billy Graham
Responsive to the World’s Beauty
“Bisque” | Anthony Satori
“What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world’s beauty, is everything.”
– H. P. Lovecraft
