Every day for about a week now I've been going over Hieronymous Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" - a triptych depicting 3 scenes: the Joining of Adam and Eve, A Garden of the World, and the third is a scene from Hell. I like scrolling through the painting and absorbing all his vivid imagery - a bird swallowing humans while sitting on his thrown, people making love in clams, etc.
I've been concentrating a lot on the center panel, and I guess my interpretation is what would the world be like if the Fall had never happened, if we had never left the garden...
