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

Like Wine Through Water

— Emily Bronte

In the Quiet of Night

Visitation of Beauty

“Visitation of Beauty”  |  Anthony Satori

One afternoon, a leaf fluttered down from the sky and landed softly on the window of my car.  I remained silent and still, quietly watching as it clung timidly to the edge of the window, simply enjoying its delicate beauty, wondering just how it might have made such an unlikely journey.  After a few moments, I pulled out my camera and took a photograph.  I then looked down, for just a breath, to prepare my camera for another shot.  When I looked up, the leaf was gone.  I hadn’t even seen it go. It had flown away on another gentle breeze, just as quickly and quietly as it had arrived.

Enjoy every moment, my friends.  Find the good in life, every day, and pull it close to your heart.
