Freedom and Life

Ascend
“Ascend” –|– Anthony Satori

— Friedrich Nietzsche
A Finer Spirit of Hope
“A Finer Spirit of Hope” –|– Anthony Satori
“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”
— Woodrow Wilson
Tremulous Ether
“Warm Glow” –|– Anthony Satori
“Love itself can never be defined. Light is something more than the sum of its ingredients — a glowing, dazzling, tremulous ether. And love is something more than all its elements — a palpitating, quivering, sensitive, living thing.”
— Henry Drummond
A Pure and Peaceful Mind

“Just as treasures are uncovered from the earth, so virtue arises from good actions, and wisdom appears from a pure and peaceful mind.”

Heart of the Rose
“Heart of the Rose” –|– Anthony Satori
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
— I Corinthians 13:4-7
Whether one is religious or not, in my opinion this stands as one of the most profound and beautiful descriptions of love ever written. It is truly something worthy of our aspiration.
Laws of Attraction
“The Moon Resting on a Tree” –|– Anthony Satori
“Great hearts steadily send forth the secret forces that incessantly draw great events.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
On the Wings of the Night Wind
“Doves” –|– Anthony Satori
“Strange things blow in through my window on the wings of the night wind, and I don’t worry about my destiny.”
— Carl Sandburg
Don’t worry about destiny. It is beyond our reach, and it can be overwhelming. Instead, slow down, take a deep breath, and focus on this moment. In this day, in this hour, in this minute, pay attention and be present. And then consciously choose to do something meaningful, something beautiful, something loving, something constructive — however small it may be. It is the cumulative effect of these choices over time that create a valued destiny. Legacy is built one brick at a time. It is built by showing up every day, by paying attention, and by consciously infusing your time and space — your words, your thoughts, and your actions — with optimism, creativity, gratitude and love.
Open Wings
“Open Wings” –|– Anthony Satori
“There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.”
