It’s sophisticated.
Famed Seventeenth-century English naturalist John Ray as soon as wrote that “magnificence is energy.”
If that’s true, the query is why magnificence, nevertheless we outline it, has such a robust impact. Furthermore, why does the sense of experiencing magnificence typically really feel the identical, whether or not we’re watching a baby’s sleeping face or a stunning sundown?
I don’t fake to have the solutions. However I hope that our means to acknowledge and admire great thing about every kind is an indication of one thing deeper, a set off that calls for us to, because the Twentieth-century American writer Willa Cather wrote, “imprison for a second the shining, elusive second which is life itself.”
Maybe that’s the supply of magnificence’s energy and why, if you happen to’re like me, you will discover it all over the place, from nature and music to structure, artwork, patterns, and gesture — to call only some examples.
Does that make magnificence’s energy an antidote to the unfolding horrors of life? Perhaps not. However within the transient transcendence it provides, magnificence’s energy stops time and in that dazzling nullity, enraptures and calms.
Within the photos that observe, I spotlight among the Cather-like moments that made me take into consideration the sophisticated nature of magnificence’s energy at the same time as I used to be taking pleasure in its diverse expression.
