Spend time with a masterpiece and you\u2019ll discover something inescapable: You\u2019re made for Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spend time with a masterpiece and this truth might feel like hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spend time with a masterpiece and you might have a sense that something here is true, that something here is right, that justice and real love are possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s this feeling of significance that makes an art museum feel like a church and a live performance of Handel\u2019s \u201cMessiah\u201d sound like corridors of Heaven itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, not any creative endeavor can affect us like this. Only a masterpiece can deliver you from the wandering emptiness of irrelevance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only a masterpiece can leave you breathless with a want for Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
