The collage above looks like a farmer‘s hands proudly presenting his crop’s output.
I never thought of this before, but looking at it now, it reflects that expression “Manna From Heaven.”
Maybe because the arms of the person are all that is seen; the produce seems to be given freely. No strings.
A lot of artists and musicians believe the Universe is talking to them all the time, giving them creative ideas. Michael Jackson and Prince were both spiritual people. And they liked this idea of the Universe handing out ideas. Michael Jackson told the press once, when he was asked how he maintained his strong work ethic? He had to listen very carefully, lest The Universe give his ideas to Prince.
I wonder how Prince feels now about keeping these ideas to himself?

This is so interesting. When I first looked at it, I didn’t even notice arms. I thought it was a cookie sitting on some potatoes. 🙂

Yes. I thought of that when I looked at the enlarged photograph! That’s not produce! That’s a cookie! Haha! But we’ll overlook that 🙂

I once went to Dubai where I stayed in a hotel with palms just like those in your collage – the place was unreal – a bit like heaven, I guess.

Don’t laugh at me, when I first looked at the collage I thought it was a brain. Guess the nurse in me!

Well, it could be, Marjie! It sure does not look like produce! My mistake! Let’s just say “Manna From Heaven” could come in many forms to many people!
After all. Prince probably could use a brain-like cookie for inspiration. After all, he mixed it up with food all over the place! 🙂
