A Finer Spirit of Hope
“A Finer Spirit of Hope” –|– Anthony Satori

Tremulous Ether

Transformation

A Pure and Peaceful Mind

Heart of the Rose
“Heart of the Rose” –|– Anthony Satori
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.”
— I Corinthians 13:4-7
Whether one is religious or not, in my opinion this stands as one of the most profound and beautiful descriptions of love ever written. It is truly something worthy of our aspiration.
