In the Cool of the Afternoon

“In the Cool of the Afternoon” | Anthony Satori

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the afternoon.”

– Genesis 3:8

How amazing to be so familiar with God, that you would recognize the sound of Him walking in the garden. It is such a beautiful idea to imagine, and a worthy aspiration to pursue. I believe that every effort we make toward cultivating our inner connection with the universe – whether it is through nature, prayer, love, careful study, or quiet meditation – brings us closer to reattaining this level of intimacy with the spirit of God.

The Source of Thought

“Sunlit Cave” | Anthony Satori

“Meditation is to dive all the way within, beyond thought, to the source of thought and pure consciousness. It enlarges the container, every time you transcend. When you come out, you come out refreshed, filled with energy and enthusiasm for life.”

– David Lynch

The Power to Make Happy

“Bloom” | Anthony Satori

“The Six Grandfathers have placed in this world many things, all of which should be happy. Every little thing is sent for something, and in that thing there should be happiness and the power to make happy. Like the grasses showing tender faces to each other, thus we should do, for this was the wish of the Grandfathers of the World.”

Golden Moon

“Golden Moon” | Anthony Satori

“You may have noticed that everything we do is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, because theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle, and so it is with everything where power moves.”
