William Blake was such a man -- artist, poet, mystic, eccentric. He wrote the hymn Jerusalem that was featured in Chariots of Fire but he produced many compelling paintings. Where did HIS inspiration come from?

Also I'm agnostic, although I sort of want to believe or have a connection to something bigger/higher. Also interested in Buddhism.

I had just scanned some stuff over a wk ago. things like voided checks for direct deposit so they can pay me, copy of ID's etc., i was at school today and when i got home i got a message saying she had called. so im going to call her back in the morning. Ive been sending out resumes for a while between school breaks and i find it ironic that that particular resume had been sent out christmas day. theyve had to process stuff like background checks, etc., i think i might have to do a drug test soon, that might be what she called about.... less

Thin spread out branches that rain, sun and wind goes right through.So I checked King James and found 'Juniper tree' which is even less protection, Junipers typically form a vertical column of thin straight branches with tiny needles on them, You might as well lay down next to a telephone pole.'Gyvel' and Juniper both have long bendy branches and were used for sweeping in medieval days.So: What kind of bush or tree did Elijah go to sleep under? less
