| Painting for Opera in the Ozarks by Diana Harvey |
Seemingly, one of the downsides of our current isolation is not being able to visit museums and attend concerts. But other avenues for the arts have opened up, which may include more people -- or at least a different audience -- than they garnered before this shift in our habits. Art galleries and museums are providing virtual tours in ways which had only been cursorily explored in the past. Interactive venues have exploded on the internet now that more people have the inclination to travel virtually. Having always been more of an armchair tourist than a traveling one, I love this idea! I can go to the Louvre and look at art or take a class in something I'd never considered knowing more about. Then I can pop over to the Smithsonian and see what's going on there, then come back to Crystal Bridges before having dinner in the comfort of my own home. Opera is also enjoying a different audience as performers stand on their front porch and serenade the neighborhood, while their phones broadcast a video to anyone who wants to tune in. No, it's not the same, but it's what we have, and it's not all bad. Change is good, don't you think? I sure do!
"Even though you aver that the material senses are indispensable to man's existence or entity, you must change the human concept of life, and must a length know yourself spiritually and scientifically. The evidence of the existence of Spirit, Soul, is palpable only to spiritual sense, and is not apparent to the material senses, which cognize only that which is the opposite of Spirit." Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 359: 11
