I visited the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio. The museum has many exhibits, three examples are the impressionism, classicism, and ancient art exhibits. Each exhibit had enjoyable visual works of art. I saw two paintings and two sculptures that were appealing to me. The paintings are The Garden of Eden and Athanor.

My interest in vernacular led me to writing in a style which I can understand but makes very little sense to other people: I write how I speak.

This idea is also influenced by my lack of verbal articulation
