The Dew of Little Things

Optimism

“Blue Fountain” | Anthony Satori

“Optimistic people play a disproportionate role in shaping our lives. Their decisions make a difference; they are inventors, entrepreneurs, political and cultural leaders – not average people. They got to where they are by seeking challenges and taking risks.”

– Daniel Khaneman

Bestowing Light

“Dionysus” | Anthony Satori

“Every time that someone has, with a pure heart, called upon Osiris, Dionysus, Buddha, the Tao, etc., the Son of God has answered them by sending the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit has acted upon their soul, not by inciting them to abandon their religious tradition, but by bestowing upon them light.”

– Simone Weil

“Steel Horse”  |  Anthony Satori

“The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower.  To think otherwise is to demean the Buddha — which is to demean oneself.”

— Robert M. Persig,  Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

“Only those who have cultivated the art of living completely in the present have any use for making plans for the future,  for when the plans mature they will be able to enjoy the results.”

— Alan Watts

Stained Glass

“Stained Glass”  |  Anthony Satori

A museum or a church?  A celebration of the deep well of human creativity, or an expression of gratitude toward the mysterious universe that created us?  It is remarkable how similar such expressions tend to be — how similar the imagery of temples and the imagery of museums align.  Perhaps this image reveals an even deeper convergence of belief, a core awareness that when we as humans reach for our best heights of creativity and knowledge, we are, by this very means, paying our deepest respects to the Creative Spirit of the universe.
