That Which Is
“Bathed in Light” –|– Anthony Satori
“My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience, extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images, that it might find out what that light was wherein it was bathed. And thus, with the flash of one hurried glance, it attained to the vision of That Which Is.”
— Saint Augustine
New Ways of Being
“Hearth” | Anthony Satori
“And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And they listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows.
And the people began to think differently. And the people healed… And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again… they made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live.”
— Kitty O’Meara

“Some people talk to animals. Not very many listen, though. That’s the problem.”
— A. A. Milne
Dream
“Dream” | Anthony Satori
“Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds may wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous, for they may act upon their dreams with open eyes and make them possible.”
— T. E. Lawrence
Energies of Love
“Crashing Wave” | Anthony Satori
“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.”
— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
A Language Not of Words
“Squirrel with Half a Donut” | Anthony Satori
“How do animals understand things? I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul.”
— Frances Hodgson Burnett
Calm Waters
“Calm Waters” | Anthony Satori
“The hub of calmness — that’s your heart. That’s where God lives within you. Just keep coming back to that center, and you’ll always find peace.”
— Elizabeth Gilbert
A State of Harmony
“Tree Swing (Autumn)” | Anthony Satori
Happiness and peace arise from cultivating a state of harmony between one’s inner light (mind, body, and spirit) and the details of the world around us.
Eternal
“Eternal” | Anthony Satori
“I existed from all eternity and, behold, I am here; and I shall exist till the end of time, for my being has no end.”
— Khalil Gibran
