“The Dance” | Anthony Satori
“The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dance is poetry with arms and legs.”
– Charles Baudelaire

Radiating the Light of Life

Three Responses to the Tao
“Wisdom” | Anthony Satori
It is said that there are three standard responses to the Tao. A wise person hears the Tao and then quietly lives it. The average person hears the Tao and then fluctuates between belief and doubt. A fool hears the Tao and simply laughs.
The Dawn of Fame
“The Sabine Woman” | Anthony Satori
“Whether artists and authors ever live to see the dawn of their fame depends upon the chance of circumstance; and the higher and more important their works are, the less likelihood there is of their doing so. As a general rule, the longer a person’s fame is likely to last, the later it will be in coming. The general history of art and literature shows that the highest achievements of the human mind are, as a rule, not favorably received at first; but remain in obscurity until they win notice from intelligence of a high order.”
– Arthur Schopenhauer
Where the Heart Calls Home
“Apollo” | Anthony Satori
“I have never let go of the thought that you are with me, always. You will always be where my heart calls home.”
– Ranata Suzuki
Equilibrium and Harmony
“Venus de Milo” | Anthony Satori
“Elegance is often confused with superficiality, lack of depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture because this word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium, and harmony.”
– Paulo Coelho
Thoughts Which Are Prayers
“Prayer” | Anthony Satori
“There are thoughts which are prayers. There are moments when, whatever the posture of the body, the soul is on its knees.”
– Victor Hugo
All Wisdom and Virtue
“Dancer, Racehorse, Buddha” | Anthony Satori
“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If you can control your mind you can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to you.”
– Buddha
Of All The Passions
“Embrace” | Anthony Satori
“Love is, of all the passions, the strongest – for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart, and the senses.”
– Lao Tzu
