Poets and Philosophers
“Big with Wonder” | Anthony Satori
“Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.”
— Thomas Aquinas
Simplify
“Simplify” | Anthony Satori
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.”
— Henry David Thoreau
In This Shadow

“Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this… universe is but a faint shadow.”
–William Blake
While we are here, however, in this shadow, let us make it as good and as beautiful as we can.
Like Wine Through Water
“Like Wine Through Water” | Anthony Satori
“I have dreamed in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the color of my mind.”
— Emily Bronte
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
A Different Breath
“The Tortoise and the Hare, Revisited” | Anthony Satori
“Truly to sing, that is a different breath.”
— Rilke
The breath used in singing does indeed seem to be a different breath, by its very nature. It shares its essence, it seems to me, with yoga breathing (pranayama), embodying the same kind of mind-body connection that this spiritual practice aspires to attain. It is the breath of life, of love, and of connection. It is a breath that holds a deeper creative resonance, as referred to in the ancient scriptures and mystic texts. It is a breath that comes not just from the body, but from the heart, from the soul, and from the spirit.
Sweet Panda
“Sweet Panda” | Anthony Satori
“It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.”
— Confucius
Toward Compassion
“Four Flamingos” | Anthony Satori
“It’s a little embarrassing that after… years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other.”
— Aldous Huxley
