Grasshopper
“Buddha” –|– Anthony Satori
“When a grasshopper sits on a blade of grass, it has no thought of separation, resistance, or blame. Children seem to prefer dragonflies whose wings and bellies are as red as chili peppers. But the green grasshopper blends completely with the green grass, and children rarely notice it. It neither retreats nor beckons. It knows nothing of philosophy or ideals. It is simply grateful for its ordinary life. Dash across the meadow, my dear friend.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh
The True Fountainhead
“Drink Deeply” –|– Anthony Satori

Faith
“Faith” –|– Anthony Satori

— The Gospel of Matthew

Things Worth Believing In
“Mountain Ridge” | Anthony Satori
“Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; and I want you to remember this, that love… true love never dies. You remember that. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in.”
— Tim McCanlies (Secondhand Lions)
