Ambedo is a divine feeling.
Being caught up in a simple, commonplace moment or noticing the beauty of a form for an instant, stretches time. Somehow seeing a swirling stream or blowing leaf simultaneously makes you feel more present in that moment and more distant from the rest of the universe. Almost as if only you and the newly extraordinary object exist. But in feeling that, the moment drifts away as you realize that the beautiful thing and everything else will all cease to exist someday. Every observant person knows this feeling.
Visual art often involves taking ordinary objects, feelings, or ideas and challenges the viewer to see them in a different way. Unlike an artists interpretation, these moments in and of themselves are art. They are art sans an artist. Or for me, this consciousness of beauty is a glimpse at spirituality, something beyond the physical earth.
