And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and Eternity in an hour.”

Creating The Universe
“Flower Burst” | Anthony Satori
“I don’t believe in an outside agent that created the world and then walked away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass… and it is that intelligence that, I wouldn’t say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It’s an ongoing process.”
— Eckhart Tolle
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
Night Palm
“Night Palm” | Anthony Satori
Be optimistic. You may actually be right. And even if you’re wrong, life will be a lot more fun along the way.
Trust Yourself to the Water
“Canoe and Tree” | Anthony Satori
“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.”
— Alan Watts
The Elements Within
“The Elements Within” | Anthony Satori
“The most basic work for peace is to return to ourselves and to create harmony among the elements within us — our feelings, our perceptions, and our mental states. That is why the practice of meditation, looking deeply, is so important.”
— Thich Nhat Hanh
The Lure of Beauty
“The Lure of Beauty” | Anthony Satori
“I have often said that the lure of flying is the lure of beauty.”
— Amelia Earhart
Imagination Itself
“Imagination Itself” | Anthony Satori
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is, in the eyes of others, only a green thing that stands in the way. But to the eyes of the person of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
— William Blake
Keep The Light
“Keep the Light” | Anthony Satori
“Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.”
— Theodore Roethke
The world rushes in a torrent around us. Slow down and take a breath. Take the time to feel where you are, who you are with, and the many wonderful things that you have to be grateful for. Savor this moment — every detail of it hides something beautiful.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!
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.
