Little Horses
“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
“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
“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
“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
Front Row Seat
“Front Row Seat” | Anthony Satori
“Happiness is a butterfly which, when pursued, seems always beyond our grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”

Walk in the Rain
“Walk in the Rain” | Anthony Satori
“Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.”

Love From Afar
“Two Birds” | Anthony Satori
[a poem]
Love from afar has a beauty all its own. That being said, let’s be near.
Untranslatable
“Untranslatable” | Anthony Satori
“The spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering. I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.”
— Walt Whitman
Hummingbird
“Hummingbird” | Anthony Satori
“The least of things with meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.”
