Aristotle spoke of art as a form of emotional catharsis.
If done effectively, it engages the viewer/audience/participant
In a drama of emotional flow and dynamism
Potentially pushing us to states of ecstasy
Where the mind of the performer and the mind of the witness
Dissolve in a sense of co-creative aesthetic wonder,
A melding of opposites
Where the viewer alters their consciousness
To momentarily adopt the world view of the artist,
Who is momentarily One
With the Creative Source,
The Force that powers the galaxies.
