MFA. Boston. Art museums often make me feel very existential. Centuries of humans. All these humans trying to make sense of what they see and feel. Trying to find beauty...and meaning...and God...compelled by the desire to make. Or hired for the gift of being able to. So odd to end up on this continuum...such a huge responsibility when seen through the lens of human history.
