Imagine Sisyphus Happy

The Magic of Books
“Golden Clown and Book” | Anthony Satori
“No, no, it’s not books at all you’re looking for! Take it where you can find it, in old phonograph records, in old motion pictures, and in old friends; look for it in nature and look for it in yourself. There is nothing magical in books at all. The magic is only in what books say.”
– Ray Bradbury

“Tea and Contemplation” | Anthony Satori

The Unmoved Mover
“The Surface of the Waters” | Anthony Satori
“The first mover, then, exists out of necessity, and insofar as it exists by necessity, its mode of being is good. The unmoved mover is perfectly beautiful, indivisible, and contemplating only the perfect contemplation: self-contemplation. And it is, in this sense, a first principle. On such a principle, then, depend the heavens and the world of nature.”
– Aristotle
The Hidden Teaching
“The Italian Alps” | Anthony Satori
“Let us be together. Let us eat together. Let us be vital together. Let us be radiating the Light of Life. Such is the hidden teaching.”
– The Upanishads
A Bit of Magic

– J. B. Priestley
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.
The Essential Witness
“Red Leaf Suspended” | Anthony Satori
“There is no glory in star or blossom till looked upon by a loving eye; There is no fragrance in April breezes till breathed with joy as they wander by.”
– William Cullen Bryant
