“By Firelight”  |  Anthony Satori

“I felt once more how simple and frugal a thing is happiness:  a glass of wine, a roasted chestnut, a scuffed-up little coal-burning heater, the sound of the sea.  Nothing else.”

— Nikos Kazantzakis

“Umbrellas”  |  Anthony Satori

“My work is loving the world.  Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work..  which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished.  Which is mostly rejoicing, since all ingredients are here.. Which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart.. and a mouth with which to give shouts of joy.. telling them all, over and over, how it is that we live forever.”

— Mary Oliver
