It is a truly amazing thing to watch.
It takes hours of intricate, painstaking work to create these mandalas of sand.
When I was in rural villages in India, people would work for hours to create them.
Once completed, they swept their hand across the work of art.
Nothing lasts forever.
Impermanence is true of this world.
The next day a world of sand is constructed anew.Colorful, meditative, disciplined, awe-inspiringly beautiful.
Then gone.
That is the way of things.
Art expresses this as best it can through artists of amazing everyday talent.
