The Everness of Zen
“Everness” | Anthony Satori
Strive to find happiness, gratitude, and inspiration in whatever good you may have in your life, right here, right now. This is the Everness of Zen.
[a poem]
There is no need to hurry to get there,
because there is only more here waiting there.
There is always more beauty in life when you love,
because even all becomes more when it’s shared.
There is no need to look too far forward or back,
because only now holds the essence of everness.
Find pleasure and calm in your presence of mind,
and your life won’t get lost into neverness.
Wonder and Sunlight
“Exuberance” | Anthony Satori
[a poem]
Today I sang, I saw beauty, I spoke poetry, I felt joy.
I held wonder and sunlight in my open hands, until they overflowed.
And then I set out in search of you, to share the treasures I’d found.
Infinitely At Ease
“Pink and Yellow Rose” | Anthony Satori
“Infinitely at ease
despite so many risks,
with no variation
of her usual routine,
the blooming rose is the omen
of her immeasurable endurance.
Do we know how she survives?
No doubt one of her days
is all the earth and all
of our infinity.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke
Protect The Light
“Palm Tree, Tractor, Wildfire” | Anthony Satori
“Do not go gentle into that good night; rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
— Dylan Thomas
The Seagull
“The Seagull” | Anthony Satori
[a poem]
Who knows?
Perhaps the seagull
was once a fish
who dreamed of the sky
so earnestly
that Nature eventually decided
to give her wings.
A Love Story
“The Blue Dream of Sky” | Anthony Satori
“i thank you God for most this amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.”
— e. e. cummings
Only Sacredness
“Black and Yellow Butterfly” | Anthony Satori
“Something opens our wings. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.”
— Rumi
Night Jasmine
“Night Jasmine” | Anthony Satori
“Twas midnight — through the lattice, wreathed with woodbine, many a perfume breathed from plants that wake when others sleep, from timid jasmine buds that keep their fragrance to themselves all day, but when the sunlight dies away let their delicious secret out to every breeze that roams about.”
— Thomas Moore
