ambiguity

Somebody sent me that youtube video of 'My American Prayer'... An artist collaboration to support Obama's march to the White House.

Something weird happened. I watched it in ambiguity, critically analyzing the artistic and personal choices presented in the video, the choice of medium to get a message across and which message exactly?
As I watched I suddenly realized how certain passages - pictures and music - triggered goose bumps ... first on my upper arms, later the whole body.

Isn't that strange? I was absolutely critical and in the same time my body reacted to the video in a very moved and touched way. Innermost.
Now, isn't that quite something.
