Let’s consider this for a moment
That art in all of its forms has the power to disrupt
our everyday lives, and awaken our hidden emotions

Think about it
You might hear a song that makes you dance
Read a poem that brings you to tears
Or be completely captured by a painting or sculpture

You see
Art reminds us of our very human capability to be deeply moved by the world around us

But what if the greatest creation does not come in the form of a physical object, what if it’s you?
The you beneath the mask
The you who knows the way through
And the you that is unabashedly free

Because perhaps with that door open, we would all hone our skills in compassion and master the technique of including every type of person

So, as you go outside and leave this place, may you remember that when you stand in your full authenticity ~
You become the key that unlocks us all
