An Ahinga Moment Fine Art Photography by Mary Lou Chmura
I like many have had numerous times in my life when I have experienced an, "Aha Moment!"
An “Aha Moment,” also referred to as an, 'Eureka Moment,' whereby a flash of inspiration, a realization, or perhaps a sudden insight into something that once was incomprehensible broke through our consciousness and became a miraculous revelation.
With wide open hearts and an instinctual knowing, we are left with a feeling of wondrous synchronicity or perhaps a shift in perception, raising our conscious awareness. Our spirits soar, experiencing an uplifting and we feel magically enlightened.
But how many of us are fortunate enough to experience a shift in perception of unity or feeling of oneness with another being in the moment.
Where the only boundaries that lie between each of us is one of mutual respect and honor of presence; the silence of hearts and souls merging as one.
I see and feel this time and time again, when I am in a one-on-one position with the sacredness that pervades another subject or living being.
Like humans, the animal and plant world are part of the larger circle of life that makes up the beautiful universal consciousness.
It has always been my belief that we are all connected, in reality we are all one through a divine universal unity.
Opening one's heart and embracing this belief is always the first step on the path to experiencing universal unity and oneness.
From that point on it's just a matter of observation, fine tuning our awareness and being open to all that is around us.
That was my exact experience, in this, “Ahinga Moment,” a total feeling of oneness in the moment with this beautiful ahinga and the glorious sounds of nature on that early morning at the Sharon Rose Wiechens Preserve in The Villages, Florida.
This timeless encounter seemed to last for ever. I felt so honored to share the presence of oneness with this gracious beautiful ahinga whom seemed to share mutual feelings. (This particular image was taken with a 50mm lens, we were literally standing right next to each other.)
This Fine Art Photography Print will bring a sense of universal unity and if you listen closely you may be able to imagine hearing the beautiful sounds of nature that were present in the creation process.
It may be purchased as a poster, framed wall art print, canvas art print, acrylic print, metal prints , tote bags, iPhone cover etc.

Fantastic capture, it's usually hard to get close to an Anhinga, but it looks like he was posing for his picture. L.
