In the Quiet of Night
“In the Quiet of Night” | Anthony Satori
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
— Leonardo da Vinci
The Divine Spark
“Seven Hills” | Anthony Satori
“The poet existed among the cave men; he will exist among men of the atomic age, for he is an inherent part of man. The need for poetry… is a spiritual need, and it is through the grace of poetry that the divine spark lives forever in the human flint.”
— Saint-John Perse
There is a spiritual need for art, poetry, music, literature, etc. Dreamers and their dreams, creators and their creations, seekers and their insights, lovers and the acts which arise from love — these are the vessels of the divine spark of the human spirit.
Walk with Love and Reverence
“Rustic Path” | Anthony Satori
“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.”
— Henry David Thoreau
The Universal Elements
“Horses in a Field” | Anthony Satori
“To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.”
— John Burroughs
Cultivate Your Utopia
“Cultivate Your Utopia” | Anthony Satori
“Find joy and solace in the simple, and cultivate your utopia by feeling the Tao in every cubic inch of space.”
— Wayne Dyer
Tree of Light
“Tree of Light” | Anthony Satori
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
— Aristotle
Trees and flowers have a deep thirst for light. Light is their food, their nourishment, their essential source of life. So whenever you see a thriving tree or flower — even if it is hidden under the dark of night, or enfolded in shadows — it is, in reality, filled to the edges with the life-giving energy of light.
Heaven in a Wild Flower
“Heaven in a Wild Flower” | Anthony Satori
“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and Eternity in an hour.”
— William Blake
Peaceful Afternoon
“Peaceful Afternoon” | Anthony Satori
“The more one meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be one’s world and the world at large.”
— Confucius
The Simple Things
“The Simple Things” | Anthony Satori
“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has the power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.”
— Eleonora Duse
