Art
I re-visited a beautiful website this morning: www.ashesandsnow.org
I feel as if my insides have been stirred up, like opening to something much bigger than my daily self. And that got me to thinking about daily life and how we get lost in it, and how we miss the beauty all around us as we scurry from point to point. Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful human beings interwoven with those amazing elephants, jaguars, falcons etc. I feel as if the majority of people’s lives are gobbled up by things of little importance.
I noticed some deep fear moving up to the surface also of being eaten or trampled by one of the wild creatures, but mostly I felt this deep longing that moved me from my small self into a greater whole………the fear of the beauty and wildness and symmetry of an intelligence I can hardly wrap my small thinking mind around.
The closest feeling I can summon to explain what this is like are those times when sexuality can move you into a space of such altered experience it is like an awakening Buddha……….vast, limitless potentiality…….I never want to leave it, but invariably back down to the daily rituals.
Art brings us glimpses of eternity.
