    The MFA exhibition, Are We All Here?, is on view in the East Gallery through May 9. In their own words, "The question, Are we all here? speaks to living in the present moment while being as fully awaare as possible. Often, we find ourselves absent, yearning for the future or a nostalgic past, working through daily problems, while indifferent to what's happening in front of us."
