I Have Met God in the Temple of the Arts

So often, music cuts through me like a knife, but, it does so in a way that heals my soul wherever my soul may be languishing.

 

If I were to make a list of the reasons I keep believing in God, music, art, dance, and drama, along with poetry would be on the list for I have often met God in those spaces at the intersections of life.

 

Theaters, galleries, and concert halls have been temples for me.

 

Humanity and the humanities alert me to the presence of God in our world.

 

Perhaps there is a glimmer here to help me understand that God made humanity in his own image.
