“Spins” | Anthony Satori
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, to move with it, to join the dance.”
— Alan Watts

A Pathway in the Mind
“Be Love” | Anthony Satori
“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.”
— Henry David Thoreau
The Other Side of the Veil
“Sphinx” | Anthony Satori
There have been countless attempts throughout history to decipher, represent, and/or access the spiritual world. Such efforts usually take the form of religion, philosophy, ritual, or artwork, and they are almost always fueled by our innate human drive to discover and/or create a door between the known world and that which exists beyond. As can be expected, every door that has been created by man up until now has been, by necessity, inherently flawed. The simple fact is that it is almost impossible to escape the corrupting influence of human imperfection, especially over time. But the destination is true. That which lies on the other side of the veil is real. It is pure, it is powerful, and it is eminently worth pursuing. So keep trying. Keep seeking. Every genuine attempt to expand our understanding of — and our connection with — the compassionate creative Spirit which pervades the universe is a gift to the future of the collective human soul.
With Winged Heart
“With Winged Heart” | Anthony Satori
“But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night… and then to wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.”
— Kahlil Gibran
Light and Dark
“Light and Dark” | Anthony Satori
“Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.”
— Walt Whitman
Night Palm
“Night Palm” | Anthony Satori
Be optimistic. You may actually be right. And even if you’re wrong, life will be a lot more fun along the way.
The Ripple Effect
“The Ripple Effect” | Anthony Satori
“On one hand, we know that everything happens for a reason, and there are no mistakes or coincidences. On the other hand, we learn that we can never give up, knowing that with the right tools and energy, we can reverse any decree or karma. So, which is it? Let the Light decide, or never give up? The answer is: both.”
— Yehuda Berg
Trust Yourself to the Water
“Canoe and Tree” | Anthony Satori
“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.”
— Alan Watts
The Realm of Pure Meaning
“Hidden Road” | Anthony Satori
Art finds its voice in the realm of pure meaning. It has the ability to transcend words, often absolving us of the need for them entirely. A work of art is an expression that flows directly from the artist’s spirit and then, with equal veracity, into the spirit of the receptive viewer.
The Elements Within
“The Elements Within” | Anthony Satori
“The most basic work for peace is to return to ourselves and to create harmony among the elements within us — our feelings, our perceptions, and our mental states. That is why the practice of meditation, looking deeply, is so important.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
