The Deep, Beautiful Mystery of the Universe

“Butterflies” | Anthony Satori

“Giddy grasshopper \ Take care \ Do not leap and crush \ These pearls of dewdrop.”

– Kobayashi Issa

Be gentle with yourself. Show yourself patience. Handle yourself with kindness. The human heart is deep and tender, and it ought to be surrounded by love, even immersed in it. Let us take care to do this for each other, every day. Let us also not forget to do this for ourselves. Being human is not easy. This journey is not for the faint of heart. Every day that you make it through – perhaps having endured some sadness, hopefully having experienced some joy –  is a good day, worthy of celebration. Well done! Don’t rush forward. Take it slowly. Tomorrow is another day, another chance to wake up, to take a deep breath, and to engage again with the deep, beautiful mystery of the universe.

“Sleepy” | Anthony Satori

When an animal crawls up onto your lap and falls asleep, it is a sweet gesture of warmth and trust. Animals read people very purely, on both an intuitive and instinctive level. If a dog or a cat warms up to you, especially if it is soon after meeting you, it should be taken as a very high compliment, indeed.
