Muse
I’ve been finding it a bit hard to keep inspired lately, and when I do get inspired it only last for an hour or two. Could it be the monotony of my 9 to 5? Is Babylon setting hurdles for my Muse to catch up to me? Or is it the other way around - Babylon becoming my greatest hurdle to catch up to my muse? Whatever it is, I think I need to close my eyes….think…and reflect about the...

“Those tasty dinner rolls scattered in The Last Supper may be the notes of a musical arrangement.
Actually, not just the bread, but the hands of Christ and the Apostles as well. One musician found that by drawing a five line musical staff across the painting, the hands and buns seem to line up as the notes of a pretty little composition. This is assuming, of course, that the...
