In This Shadow
“In This Shadow” | Anthony Satori
“Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this… universe is but a faint shadow.”
–William Blake
While we are here, however, in this shadow, let us make it as good and as beautiful as we can.
In the Quiet of Night
“In the Quiet of Night” | Anthony Satori
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
— Leonardo da Vinci
Visitation of Beauty
“Visitation of Beauty” | Anthony Satori
One afternoon, a leaf fluttered down from the sky and landed softly on the window of my car. I remained silent and still, quietly watching as it clung timidly to the edge of the window, simply enjoying its delicate beauty, wondering just how it might have made such an unlikely journey. After a few moments, I pulled out my camera and took a photograph. I then looked down, for just a breath, to prepare my camera for another shot. When I looked up, the leaf was gone. I hadn’t even seen it go. It had flown away on another gentle breeze, just as quickly and quietly as it had arrived.
Enjoy every moment, my friends. Find the good in life, every day, and pull it close to your heart.
The Great Harmony
“The Great Harmony” | Anthony Satori
“The way of the creative works so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the great harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.”
— I Ching
Walking on Water
“Walking on Water” | Anthony Satori
If you are a biologist, you see variations of life everywhere. If you are a chemist, you see chemical reactions everywhere. If you are an artist, you see beauty everywhere. We choose our filters and we cultivate our lenses, and what’s amazing is the Universe seems perfectly content to accommodate our expectations.
So choose your filters carefully — they play a significant role in the creation of your world.
Sweet Panda
“Sweet Panda” | Anthony Satori
“It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you do not stop.”
— Confucius
The Tao of Happiness
“Like Water” | Anthony Satori
Embrace life with gratitude and joy. Seek beauty and goodness in every moment. The Tao of Happiness is not concerned with grasping at preconceived notions, but rather with finding the Flow, like water, and immersing oneself in it with enthusiasm and calm.
Tree of Light
“Tree of Light” | Anthony Satori
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
— Aristotle
Trees and flowers have a deep thirst for light. Light is their food, their nourishment, their essential source of life. So whenever you see a thriving tree or flower — even if it is hidden under the dark of night, or enfolded in shadows — it is, in reality, filled to the edges with the life-giving energy of light.
Mystical Energy
“Mystical Energy” | Anthony Satori
There is a mystical energy in the universe. It lives all around us. It vibrates just beneath the surface of everything that is good in the world. It nourishes us through nature, beauty, compassion and love — through art, empathy, kindness and wonder. This mystical energy is the elixir of the universe. It can expand our consciousness and give our existence infinite new layers of meaning and beauty, if we allow it to.
