The Ordering of Nature
“Cormorants on the Wind” | Anthony Satori
“More and more it seems to me that the ordering of nature is an art akin to music – fugues in a shell, counterpoints in fibers, throbbing rhythms in waves of sound, light, and nerve. And oneself is connected with it quite inextricably – an electronic interweaving of paths, circuits, and impulses that stretch and hum throughout the whole of time and space.”
– Alan Watts
Dream More
“Violin” | Anthony Satori
“If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less, but to dream more, to dream all the time.”
– Marcel Proust
The Mind of God
“Vibrations” | Anthony Satori
“In string theory, all particles are vibrations on a tiny rubber band; physics is the harmonies on the string; chemistry is the melodies we play on vibrating strings; the universe is a symphony of strings, and the ‘Mind of God’ is cosmic music resonating in 11-dimensional hyperspace.”
– Michio Kaku
Lightning Bolt
“Lightning Bolt” | Anthony Satori
“I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.”
– Arthur Rubinstein
Artist as Bacchus
“I, Bacchus” | Anthony Satori
“Music, [poetry, and art] are the wine which inspire people to new generative processes, and we [artists] are Bacchus, pressing out this glorious wine for mankind and making them spiritually drunken.”
— Ludwig van Beethoven
California Rain
“California Rain” | Anthony Satori
“Here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory.”
— The Eurythmics
To Be Loved
“Loyal Heart” | Anthony Satori
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn, is just to love and to be loved in return.”
— Eden Ahbez
Notes and More Notes
“Notes and More Notes” | Anthony Satori
“Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.”
— Frederic Chopin
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.
