Night, the Beloved
“Night, the Beloved” | Anthony Satori
“Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When.. all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree.”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Expect Wonders
“Expect Wonders” | Anthony Satori
“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.”
— Henry David Thoreau
Notes and More Notes
“Notes and More Notes” | Anthony Satori
“Simplicity is the final achievement. After one has played a vast quantity of notes and more notes, it is simplicity that emerges as the crowning reward of art.”
— Frederic Chopin
Join the Dance
“Spins” | Anthony Satori
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, to move with it, to join the dance.”
— Alan Watts
Enjoy the Ride
“Enjoy the Ride” | Anthony Satori
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive — to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
— Marcus Aurelius
Pursuit of the Sublime
“Pursuit of the Sublime” | Anthony Satori
The pursuit of the sublime is far too easily derailed by accepting the belief that some heights are, by their very nature, unattainable. How much better to proceed as if all heights can be reached? What new and exceptional elevations of mind, body and spirit are simply waiting to be attained by those who have the courage to adopt a posture of optimism, vision and faith, and then to engage in the purposeful behavior that derives from these qualities?
The Voice Under All Silences
“The Voice Under All Silences” | Anthony Satori
“Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite in fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness; the truth more first than sun more last than star.” – E. E. Cummings
Limitless
“Limitless” | Anthony Satori
“Out of my pocket I drew a little edition of Dante — my travelling companion. I lit a pipe, leaned against the wall and made myself comfortable. I hesitated for a moment. Into which verses should I dip? Into the burning pitch of the Inferno, or the cleansing flames of Purgatory? Or should I make straight for the most elevated plane of human hope? I had the choice. Holding my pocket Dante in my hand, I rejoiced in my freedom. The verses I was going to choose so early in the morning would impart their rhythm to the whole of the day.” – Nikos Kazantzakis (Zorba the Greek)
Moonbeams and Wind
“Moonbeams and Wind” | Anthony Satori
“You’re not like the others. I’ve seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking… No one has time any more for anyone else.” — Clarisse M. (Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury)
