This has resonated with me tonight…I struggle with the heaviness of my grief. I’m going to the gallery tomorrow. I need to be in quietude with the art.

I have had the great pleasure of seeing two exquisite exhibits, recently, and was absolutely on a high for a couple weeks afterwards. So, please wander through museums as you wonder the beauty of each piece.

Love and blessings to you there is also nature. When I lost parents and other family I realized land forms are my family. That cliff that beach its always gonna be here for me. That forrest even partially burnt has 20,000 year old trees. God is like the motor of all these things to me. Also animals they are such silly kids. The animals give me a home and routine.

This story resonated with me too. Dawn, I hope you found the quietude that you sought, and that it was relieving for you. Stay well.

I went to a private tour at the MET, try to see if you can catch one❤

The "guards" at The Met, most of them have post secondary educations and solid backgrounds in visual art. And music and dance and performance. Think of them more as walking curators. Not simply some dude slumming it for minimum wage. Among them the American artist Eric Fishl. He did exactly this as a young man in New York and he has said the many hours he spent on shift with the work really gave him a deeper insight into it. Rather than a quick visit in and out for a few hours.

I feel that. People who work at these places specifically choose to work there because of a love and fascination for art and beauty. I work in a library and people are there because they love books. I feel the same about the symphony or opera. The environment produces both awe and comfort. If only we could all see that beauty in each other.

Patrick is a spiritual gent. The MET is one of the loveliest museums in the world.

The Met is the most blissful gateway to another world and time!

As someone who lost a sibling to cancer at a young age, this story made me weep. I'm so happy for the sweet solace Patrick found at the Met -- the perfect antidote to any pain, IMHO. I look forward to reading your book, Patrick.

Heart braking to die so young and the grief of the brother is so sad

I’ve been trying to define art and its power to bless life to three grandchildren lately. I’ll show them this story tomorrow. It even includes a comment about the Lord, my great source of hope. Thank you ABC.

What a beautiful story I’m crying because loosing someone you love is very painful there is nothing we can do about it, this is the mystery of life. Life must go on till the end???

Love that the lens are on these heroes

NO.WORDS...ENTERING ANOTHER REALITY...A GLIMPSE OF SOME OF THOSE TREASURES, A RAY OF CONSCIUSNESS {.Sorry Caps. Old fingers } THANK YOU 🙋💗 .

Losing my two brothers in nine weeks, was a nightmare...But losing my son to suicide was a monster. All within a year.... I'm an artist, and painting butterflies seemed to be a consolation...I don't have to talk or listen to noise...I am in solitude and it too, is a comfort...The pain is like having your heart squeezed out and the blood dripping on the inside of your being along with part of you on the other side of the realm waiting here, hopefully doing your mission even if it's just the presence of your life to please God...

❤Loved this.🙂

I will be in quietude for life ❤😊

Loved your book Patrick from here in New Zealand. Do write more books. You hold the skill of being able to deeply reflect on life. Best wishes 🙏🏿

Some people would go on a date to a bar or club or resto or whatever. Me? I'd take her on a date to The Met or MoMA. If she says "yeah, let's go" its looking good!

I always try to make a point to thank the guard watching the gallery when I leave it.

Some Security Guards eventually become a Docent aka a tour guide, simply because after spending countless hours amongst the works of art, reading the Museum labels and following along in tours they become knowledgeable enough to share with others.

संग्रहालय में रखी हर वस्तु कुछ न कुछ कहती हैं बशर्ते आप देखने का नजरिया बदलें हर तस्वीर में आपको तत्कालिक जीवन को उजागर करती नजर आएंगी

I recently visited the Museum of Fine Arts here in Houston & let me tell you, they just don't make art like this anymore 💕

Beauty is understood as an attribute of God. The Lord is beautiful, and He gives image-bearers (man) the capacity to perceive His beauty in nature, as well as reflect in art. The key to beauty, particularly perceivable to Christians, is God Himself. All beauty in the created world is from Him. Beauty generally is revealing God and His attributes emanating bliss, truth, justice beauty love. God is all the things we desire that fill the empty void of the heart. Truth reveals beauty because it is both replete and symmetrical. When man searches for truth, he pursues the divinely real. Truth is coherent, beautifully attractive, good and stabilizing.

Never knew a musemn guard to look at paintings without losing his job.
