The Sublimity of Nature
“The Sublimity of Nature” –|– Anthony Satori
“She spoke her feelings. ‘Here’s harmony!’ said she; ‘Here’s repose! Here’s what may lift the heart to rapture! When I look out on such a night as this, I feel as if there could be neither wickedness nor sorrow in the world; and there certainly would be less of both if the sublimity of Nature were more attended to, and people were carried more out of themselves by contemplating such a scene.’”
― Jane Austen
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! May 2021 bring health, peace, joy and fulfillment into every corner of your life.
The Secret of the River
“Leaves on Blue Water” –|– Anthony Satori
“Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere; and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.”
— Hermann Hesse

Ascent
“Ascent” –|– Anthony Satori
“Here I cry out, arms raised: ‘Both wealth and pleasure spring from dharma, so why is dharma not followed?’ Not for pleasure, not for fear, not for greed should one ever abandon dharma — not even to save one’s life. Dharma is eternal; happiness and misery are not eternal. The living self is eternal; the body through which it lives is not.”
— The Mahabharata
