The Mysterious
“The Mysterious” | Anthony Satori
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.”
— Albert Einstein
Things Worth Believing In
“Mountain Ridge” | Anthony Satori
“Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love… true love never dies. You remember that. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.”
— Tim McCanlies (Secondhand Lions)
Upon the Horizon’s Verge
“Bluegreen Hummingbird” | Anthony Satori
“Between two worlds life hovers like a star, twixt night and morn, upon the horizon’s verge.”

Lemonade
“Lemonade” | Anthony Satori
“If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently.”

Plume
“Plume” | Anthony Satori
“I am not sure exactly what Heaven will be like, but I know that when it comes time for God to judge us, He will not ask, ‘How many good things have you done in your life?’ Rather, He will ask, ‘How much love did you put into what you did?'”
— Mother Teresa
Calm
“Calm” | Anthony Satori
“The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful, we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and so we will experience true happiness. But if our mind is not peaceful, we will find it very difficult to be happy, even in the very best conditions.”
— Kelsang Gyatso
Artemis
“Artemis” | Anthony Satori
“Isn’t it astonishing that all these secrets [of nature] have been preserved for so many years just so we could discover them?”
— Orville Wright, co-inventor of the first airplane. (1903)
Nature holds so many wonderful mysteries. It’s like a giant cosmic Easter Egg hunt that has been carefully set in place for us to enjoy, and I picture a benevolent Creator just sitting back and watching, with pleasure and pride, as we seek — and gradually discover — the endless gifts and surprises that have been hidden for us throughout nature, around the universe, and even within our own souls.
Historical Note: This week marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which sent two American astronauts to walk on the moon for the first time in human history. Just this week, as well, a brand new mission has been announced by NASA, scheduled to return humans to the moon by 2024. This new mission is called Artemis. In Greek mythology, Artemis is the godess of wilderness, exploration, archery, and the moon. She is also the twin sister of Apollo.
Harmony
“Harmony” | Anthony Satori
“Whoever dedicates one’s life to searching out particular connections in nature will spontaneously be confronted with the question of how they harmoniously fit into the whole.”
— Werner Heisenberg

“Tree” | Anthony Satori
“The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.”
