The Hidden Teaching
“The Italian Alps” | Anthony Satori
“Let us be together. Let us eat together. Let us be vital together. Let us be radiating the Light of Life. Such is the hidden teaching.”
– The Upanishads
Sacred Awe
“Golden Eyes” | Anthony Satori
“I felt deep within me that the highest point a man can attain is not Knowledge or Virtue or Goodness or Victory, but something even greater, more heroic and more inspiring: Sacred Awe.”
– Nikos Kazantzakis
And the beauty of it is this: The very experiencing of Sacred Awe, in turn, inspires a deep hunger for knowledge, virtue, and goodness.
Across the Universe
“Ducks on a Lake” | Anthony Satori
“Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes, they call me on and on, across the universe.”

The Ingenuity with which Divinity Hides
“Cupcake with a Flower” | Anthony Satori

The Deep, Beautiful Mystery of the Universe
“Butterflies” | Anthony Satori
“Giddy grasshopper \ Take care \ Do not leap and crush \ These pearls of dewdrop.”
– Kobayashi Issa
Be gentle with yourself. Show yourself patience. Handle yourself with kindness. The human heart is deep and tender, and it ought to be surrounded by love, even immersed in it. Let us take care to do this for each other, every day. Let us also not forget to do this for ourselves. Being human is not easy. This journey is not for the faint of heart. Every day that you make it through – perhaps having endured some sadness, hopefully having experienced some joy – is a good day, worthy of celebration. Well done! Don’t rush forward. Take it slowly. Tomorrow is another day, another chance to wake up, to take a deep breath, and to engage again with the deep, beautiful mystery of the universe.
Divinity in All Things
“Divinity in All Things” | Anthony Satori
“He who sees divinity in all things, and all things in divinity, is one with correct vision.”
– Krishna
The Metamorphosis of Daphne
“Shining Beauty” | Anthony Satori
“Her prayer was scarcely done when a heavy numbness seized her limbs, a thin bark closed around her gentle bosom, and her hair became as moving leaves; her arms were changed into waving branches, and her feet – so swift a moment ago – stuck fast in slow-growing roots. Her face was lost in a canopy of encircling laurels. Only her shining beauty was left.”
– Ovid (The Metamorphoses)
Look Within
“Sandalwood” | Anthony Satori
“Find a place inside where there is joy, and joy will burn out the pain.”
– Joseph Campbell
