“A Quiet Place” | Anthony Satori
“The very winds whispered in soothing accents, and maternal Nature bade me weep no more.”
— Mary Shelley
Soothing Accents
In the Dew of Little Things
“Warm Sunshine” | Anthony Satori
“In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and the sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.”
— Khalil Gibran
Movement, Transformation and Flow
“Tiger in a Tree” | Anthony Satori
Everything in the universe is movement, transformation and flow. Our perceptions, decisions, and conscious thought are what empower us to create meaning from the chaos. The more finely we tune our awakened consciousness to our higher mind, the more beautiful and enriching our world will become.
Feel The Rain On Your Skin
“The Rain” | Anthony Satori
“Feel the rain on your skin / No one else can feel it for you / Only you can let it in / No one else, no one else / Can speak the words on your lips / Drench yourself in words unspoken / Live your life with arms wide open / Today is where your book begins / The rest is still unwritten.”
— Natasha Bedingfield
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.
Shadows of Burgundy
“Shadows of Burgundy” | Anthony Satori
“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The Glory of Expression
“The Trumpet Man” | Anthony Satori
“The art of art, the glory of expression, and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.”
— Walt Whitman
A man walked out onto the beach, unpacked his things, and began to play his trumpet. The sweet, muted tones of his soulful melodies sang out for anyone who would listen. The place he sat was the same concrete bench that had been there before. Around him was the same sand, the same lamp post, the same air. But now, in this space where there had been no music, there was now music. Now, all the rollerbladers and the volleyball players, the sunbathers and the beachgoers, they all had a soundtrack playing around them. This is the art of art. This is the glory of expression. This is simplicity.
In The Sunshine
“California Poppies” | Anthony Satori
“A light wind swept over… and all nature laughed in the sunshine.”
— Anne Bronte
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
Infinite Storm of Beauty
“Infinite Storm of Beauty” | Anthony Satori
“When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.”
— John Muir
