“Lizard” | Anthony Satori
“And remember, the point of life is not to be the smartest person in the room. It is to understand things. To figure out how nature works. To do your part with the time you have.”
– Richard P. Feynman
The Point of Life

Imagine Sisyphus Happy
“Glove on Stairs” | Anthony Satori
“The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.”
– Albert Camus
The Joy of Living
“Spruce Viola” | Anthony Satori
“When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.”
– Tecumseh
A Lovely Moment
“Sip” | Anthony Satori
“The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.”
– Richard Bach
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
Happiness is Harmony
“Droplets on a Leaf” | Anthony Satori
“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
Simple Life
“Confucius” | Anthony Satori
“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”
– Confucius
Stop worrying about things that are outside the bounds of your control. Let them go. Also, stop worrying about things that are within the bounds of your control. Control them. That is, take the best action within your reach, right now, to make them better – and then leave the rest to God.
