「感動すること」について思いを馳せてみる。
Think about things that sharing deep emotion

the sea looks charming is all because of the sky in morning glow.

個人的な解釈が許されれば、祭祀は芸術の要素を含んでいると感じる。

If personal interpretation is permitted, it can be said that rituals contain elements of art.

芸術とは人間を感動させる術のひとつ。「感動すること」それは人間の本質への回帰。

"Art" has that something which moves human being.  It is a return to human nature.

「感動」とは =「心の琴線に触れる」ことであり、誰もが備えている神聖な部分に触れるということ。

"move deep emotion" is that to "touch the heart chord" and touching the sacred parts that everyone has.

「感動」がなくなると自分の中の神を失い(自分を見失う)負のスパイラルに巻き込まれてゆく。

When "deep emotion" disappears, We lose the deity inside of us (We lose sight of ourself) get caught in a negative spiral.

「八百万神」、「森羅万象に神が宿る」という哲学を、どんな「もの」や「こと」にでも感動(神)の一部が宿っていると見立てるとどうでしょう。

Imagine that Shinto philosophy  "A wide variety of deity", "the existence of deity can be found in everything", means that part of the deep emotion (deity) is dwelling in anything.

感動を分かちあう時、つまり相手の中に同じ感動を見つけた時に「絆」が生まれ、ひとつ、ふたつ、から始まり数えきれないほどの絆が繋がると想像してみてください。

And when we share deep emotion, that is, when we find the same deep emotion inside our opponent, "The bond of love" are born, countless the bond of love are connected.

そして、そういうスパイラルこそが世界を結んでいくことができると。

I am convinced that such a spiral will connect the world.
