Elegance

“Clear Blue” | Anthony Satori

“Elegance is achieved when all that is superfluous has been discarded and the human being discovers simplicity and concentration: the simpler the posture, the more beautiful it will be.”

– Paulo Coelho

Butterfly Dreams

“Yellow and Black Butterfly” | Anthony Satori

“Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Zhuangzi. Soon I awakened, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man.”

– Chuang Tzu (Zhuangzi)

Live Lightly

“Take Flight” | Anthony Satori

The fact is, life is a great mystery. None of us knows how long we have here. We may, by some miracle, still be around a hundred years from now. Or we may be gone next week. No one knows. So I say, live lightly. Glide as smoothly as you can over the bumps and dips of this world – they really don’t matter in the big scheme of things. Embrace each day as the gift that it is. Live love, live joy, and live kindness. Live compassion, live gratitude, and live courage. Watch, listen, and learn with humility. Think, speak, and act with intention. And then, when the stars align and the wind is at your back, be ready to fly when the universe presents you with the opportunity to fly.

Stone Tower

“Stone Tower” | Anthony Satori

“In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don’t try to control. In work, do what you love. In family life, be completely present.”

– Lao Tzu

New Ways of Being

“Hearth”  |  Anthony Satori

“And the people stayed home.  And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still.  And they listened more deeply.  Some meditated, some prayed, some danced.  Some met their shadows.

And the people began to think differently.  And the people healed… And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again… they made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live.”

— Kitty O’Meara

“Tiger Soul”  |  Anthony Satori

“The substance from which I am made… is a river which carries me along, but I am the river;  it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger;  it is a fire which consumes me, but I am the fire.”

— Jorge Luis Borges

“A Toast”  |  Anthony Satori

“As we grow in our consciousness, there will be more compassion and more love, and then the barriers between people, between religions, between nations will begin to fall.”

— Ram Dass
