All Wisdom and Virtue

The Beauty of Life

“Flower Burst” | Anthony Satori

“Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of virtue.”

– Menachem Begin

Sparkling with Diamonds

“Sparkling with Diamonds” | Anthony Satori

“We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds.”

– Anton Chekhov

It’s Christmas! What a wonderful opportunity to share love, joy, and positive energy with our friends, family, and loved ones. The holidays are a perfect time to remind ourselves to savor the simple pleasures in life, to cherish the special people around us, and to cultivate compassion and gratitude in our hearts, every day.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!

A Leap Taken

“Jumpers” | Anthony Satori

“Life is a travelling to the edge of knowledge, and then a leap taken.”

– D. H. Lawrence

It is good to be prepared. It is important to gather as much knowledge and information about any given situation as is reasonably practical. But then, when the time comes, it is just as important to be ready and willing to take the leap. We must come to peace with the fact that, in this life, we will almost always be acting upon imperfect knowledge. This is inevitable; it is simply part of the human experience. But don’t let this keep you from taking action. Jump into life with enthusiasm. Engage with the present moment fully. And whether, at any given moment, you happen to be facing a challenge or a triumph, a conservation of energy or a state of full exertion, always seek to find a way to cherish this particular, individual step the journey. Strive to live your best life, every day. Endeavor to embrace each moment with optimism, creativity, gratitude, and joy. To do this the most pure expression of appreciation toward the universe, and toward God, that we could ever hope to make. To do this is an act of faith. To do this is an act of courage. To do this is an act of love.

The Magic of Objects

“Chair” | Anthony Satori

It is quite mystical, really, how something physical – a place, a type of flower, an inanimate object; even a color, a sound, a flavor, or a scent – can become so full of meaning and beauty, merely from having accompanied a moment in your life when you felt great joy.
