Only Shadows
“Shadows” | Anthony Satori
“Like ourselves, they see only shadows, which the fire throws upon the opposite wall of the cave.”
— Plato
In That Silence
“In That Silence” (triptych) | Anthony Satori
“To me a mountain is a buddha. Think of the patience, hundreds of thousands of years just sitting there being perfectly perfectly silent and praying for all living creatures in that silence.”
— Jack Kerouac
A Big Open Fire, a Record Player, and Peace
“Daydreams” | Anthony Satori
“I had daydreams and fantasies… I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse into town and pick up provisions. I would then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player, and peace.”
— Linda McCartney
A warm fireplace. Your favorite music playing. A peaceful state of mind. Sometimes what may seem like the most simple of dreams can also be the most beautiful. And what makes them even better is to know that, with a bit of attention, heart and hard work, those kinds of aspirations have the potential of becoming real. And there are few things in life more rewarding than striving toward a heartfelt dream, and then having the chance to share the living of that dream with the ones that you love.
Wish Full
“Wish Full” | Anthony Satori
“There’s enough pain in the world. Do this work with love — with sincerity and truth and honesty — and you will do good work.”
— Jerry Lewis
Dream the Myth Onward
“Dream the Myth Onward” | Anthony Satori
“Even the best attempts at explanation [of an image] are only more or less successful translations into another metaphorical language. Indeed, language itself is only an image. The most we can do is dream the myth onward.”
— C. G. Jung
What Remains
“What Remains” | Anthony Satori
Throughout the course of Time, entire worlds are built, fall away, and new ones are built in their place. Through it all, Love — and only Love — remains.
The Blue Centerlight
“Girl Playing Guitar by Firelight” | Anthony Satori
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes ‘Awww!'”
— Jack Kerouac
Be in Love with Life
“Portrait of a Street Musician” (triptych) | Anthony Satori
“To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.”
— Osho
Enjoy the Journey
“Enjoy the Journey” | Anthony Satori
“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”
— Jawaharlal Nehru
