| I understand where you are coming from in that in your opinion, the experience itself constitutes art. A blowing leaf can be called "art." But we are necessarily discussing a concrete definition of art here. Art requires human participation in its creation as well as in its consumption. A natural occurrence is not art, it is nature. This doesn't mean that it has to be permanent in its presentation, and indeed, many forms of art are not (consider performance art).
A higher state of mind is not necessarily art. An experience which produces a higher state of mind alone is not necessarily art. The key here is mediation.
