“Imagination Itself” | Anthony Satori

— William Blake

“Little Horses” | Anthony Satori
If you reach high enough, and search deep enough, and breathe calmly within the stillness of the moment, you will eventually discover that we are all connected by One infinite, beautiful, compassionate Consciousness. And then, like a cool mist exposed to warm sunlight, all superficial differences will melt away.
“Gorilla” | Anthony Satori
I’ve had the good fortune to photograph gorillas on a number of occasions, and they are nothing less than amazing, majestic creatures. When you look into their eyes — and they look back into yours — it is impossible not to feel that there is a soul behind them. Intelligence, consciousness, self-awareness, compassion — it is all there, in remarkable dimension.
“Cabin on the Lake” | Anthony Satori
Surround yourself with beauty, goodness, compassion, light. The more thoroughly you infuse these qualities into the substance of your everyday life, the more you will come to see the world as a living reflection of the infinite wonder of the universe.
“In the Shade of a Tree” | Anthony Satori
“Those who decide to use [what] leisure [they have] as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation… these are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others.”
— William Lyon Phelps
