“Infinite Storm of Beauty” | Anthony Satori
“When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.”
— John Muir
“Night Palm” | Anthony Satori
Be optimistic. You may actually be right. And even if you’re wrong, life will be a lot more fun along the way.
“Keep the Light” | Anthony Satori
“Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.”
— Theodore Roethke
The world rushes in a torrent around us. Slow down and take a breath. Take the time to feel where you are, who you are with, and the many wonderful things that you have to be grateful for. Savor this moment — every detail of it hides something beautiful.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
“By the Sigh of the Sea” | Anthony Satori
“Happy. Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spinning, jumping, running—that’s the way to live… free, in the soft sands of the beach, by the sigh of the sea out there.”
— Jack Kerouac
Embrace life, every moment of it. Immerse yourself in the wonder of it all. Pursue the sublime, it is hiding behind every corner, and it desires nothing more than to be sought, found and inhaled by you.
“The London Eye at Night” | Anthony Satori
Strolling along the river’s edge, under the dark of night, it seemed almost as if the London Eye might simply break away from its cables at any moment and start rolling joyfully down the bank of the River Thames like a giant, glowing bicycle tire set free from the confines of its chains and gears…
“The Perception of Beauty” | Anthony Satori
“Works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and to feel nobly.”
— Aldous Huxley
“Santa Claus” | Anthony Satori
Shine your light, give of your heart, and, most of all, be kind to one another… and to yourself. Because, in the quiet of the night, as we lay our heads to sleep, this is all that really matters.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
“Pursuit of the Sublime” | Anthony Satori
The pursuit of the sublime is far too easily derailed by accepting the belief that some heights are, by their very nature, unattainable. How much better to proceed as if all heights can be reached? What new and exceptional elevations of mind, body and spirit are simply waiting to be attained by those who have the courage to adopt a posture of optimism, vision and faith, and then to engage in the purposeful behavior that derives from these qualities?
“Shine” | Anthony Satori
“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.”
— C. G. Jung
“Blackfriars Bridge at Night (London)” | Anthony Satori
“O night, O sweetest time, though dark of hue, with peace you force all restless work to end. Those who exalt you see and understand, and he is sound of mind who honors you. You send to this low sphere the dreams where we ascend up to the highest.”
— Michelangelo
