“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.

“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.

— Eleonora Duse

“With Winged Heart”  |  Anthony Satori

“But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night… and then to wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.”

— Kahlil Gibran

“Imagination Itself”  |  Anthony Satori

“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is, in the eyes of others, only a green thing that stands in the way.  But to the eyes of the person of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”

— William Blake

“Girl Playing Guitar by Firelight”  |  Anthony Satori

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!'”

— Jack Kerouac
