“Aloft in the Wind” | Anthony Satori
“Just as musicians feel about scores and melodies, and how dancers feel about steps and the flow of music, so are pilots one with the principal of flight, the magic of being aloft in the wind.”
– Richard Bach
“Water Droplets” | Anthony Satori
“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.”
— Rabindranath Tagore
“Carnival” | (Venice, Italy) | Anthony Satori
“The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.”
— Charles Baudelaire
“K with Baton” | Anthony Satori
“Much that is beautiful stands as an isolated entity in this world, but the spirit of the artist seeks to discover connections and thus to create works of art.”
— Goethe
“Dancer Soul” | Anthony Satori
“The philosopher’s soul dwells in his head. The poet’s soul is in his heart. The singer’s soul lingers about his throat. But the soul of the dancer abides in all of her body.”
— Khalil Gibran
“Respice Finem” | Anthony Satori
Perhaps you desire to have more balance in your life, or more peace of mind. Hold this aspiration near to you. Whenever you have the opportunity to take an action, speak words, or pursue a thought, ask yourself, “Will this bring me closer to having more balance/peace in my life?” This is what respice finem means: Consciously choose your desired goals, and apply that understanding to how you place your energy and attention in this present moment.
“Respice finem, that is to say, in all your actions, look often upon what you would have, as the thing that directs all your thoughts in the way to attain it.” – Thomas Hobbes
Aspire to good things. Defy labels. Reach for new heights. Keep the goals you wish to achieve ever in your mind, while continually returning to the present moment, because it is in this present moment alone that we have access to both the pleasure of living and the power to act. Make small progress every day toward your aspirations, and even the shadow you cast will be amazing.
