The Divine
According to Shen Yun’s website, China was once known as “the Land of the Divine,” and its people believed that their culture, deeply rooted in spiritual teachings, was a gift from the Heavens.Mr. and Mrs. Pacatte were appreciative of the spiritual elements in Shen Yun’s performance.
“I loved that they honored God, quite honestly,” said Mrs. Pacatte. “That they honored God, and brought their God back into the situation.”
Mrs. Pacatte said that she was able to resonate with the belief of a culture being divinely inspired.
“I believe that as well. I believe we are to honor and love one another and I feel that to respect one another’s values and culture is a beautiful thing and that’s what we all should do.”
“It (Shen Yun) is encouraging,” Mrs. Pacatte added. “It’s inspirational.”
“I feel like sometimes we get off path with the value of others in our cultures and our traditions and we veer off path, so coming back to that is a beautiful thing.”
