“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)
“Sandalwood” | Anthony Satori
“Find a place inside where there is joy, and joy will burn out the pain.”
– Joseph Campbell
“Sleepy” | Anthony Satori
When an animal crawls up onto your lap and falls asleep, it is a sweet gesture of warmth and trust. Animals read people very purely, on both an intuitive and instinctive level. If a dog or a cat warms up to you, especially if it is soon after meeting you, it should be taken as a very high compliment, indeed.
“Tuning Fork (432 Hz)” | Anthony Satori
Our mind is the locus of our consciousness, and consciousness is the foundation and source of all reality. Therefore, if you wish to elevate and improve your reality, you must first begin by elevating your thoughts and your words. Adjust your vibrational energy toward peace, love, health, and virtue, and everything else will follow.

“As I walked out one evening, I heard a lover sing… ‘I’ll love you, dear, I’ll love you, till the river jumps over the mountain. I’ll love you till the ocean is folded and hung up to dry. The years shall run like rabbits, for in my arms I hold, the Flower of the Ages, the first love of the world.’”
– W. H. Auden
