The Point of Life

– Richard P. Feynman
Imagine Sisyphus Happy

The Joy of Living
“Spruce Viola” | Anthony Satori

The Delicate Balance of the Unencumbered Life
“Day Moon Rising” | Anthony Satori
“Simplify. Get rid of all that is unnecessary. Wabi-sabi means treading lightly on the planet and knowing how to appreciate whatever is encountered, no matter how trifling, whenever it is encountered. Wabi-sabi tells us to enjoy the unencumbered life. Obviously, leading the simple wabi-sabi life requires some effort and some will, and also some tough decisions. We still live in a world of things. But wabi-sabi is about the delicate balance between the pleasure we get from things and the pleasure we get from freedom from things.”
– Leonard Koren
Select Your Thoughts
“Windblown Sand” | Anthony Satori
“We need to learn how to select our thoughts just the same way we select our clothes every day. This is a power that can be cultivated. If you want to control things in your life, work on the mind. That’s the only thing you should be trying to control.”
– Elizabeth Gilbert
Toward the Sunshine
“Burgundy Hot Rod” | Anthony Satori
“Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.”
– Walt Whitman
The Door of the Subconscious
“The Door of the Subconscious” | Anthony Satori
“All day long, the door of the subconscious remains just ajar; we slip through to the other side, and return again, as easily and secretly as a cat.”
– Walter de la Mare
