Be gentle with yourself. Show yourself patience. Handle yourself with kindness. The human heart is deep and tender, and it ought to be surrounded by love, even immersed in it. Let us take care to do this for each other, every day. Let us also not forget to do this for ourselves. Being human is not easy. This journey is not for the faint of heart. Every day that you make it through – perhaps having endured some sadness, hopefully having experienced some joy – is a good day, worthy of celebration. Well done! Don’t rush forward. Take it slowly. Tomorrow is another day, another chance to wake up, to take a deep breath, and to engage again with the deep, beautiful mystery of the universe.
“Shining Beauty” | Anthony Satori
“Her prayer was scarcely done when a heavy numbness seized her limbs, a thin bark closed around her gentle bosom, and her hair became as moving leaves; her arms were changed into waving branches, and her feet – so swift a moment ago – stuck fast in slow-growing roots. Her face was lost in a canopy of encircling laurels. Only her shining beauty was left.”
– Ovid (The Metamorphoses)
“Sandalwood” | Anthony Satori
“Find a place inside where there is joy, and joy will burn out the pain.”
– Joseph Campbell
“Burgundy Hot Rod” | Anthony Satori
