There is a very specific, deeply spiritual moment in life that no one prepares you for. Not childbirth.Not falling in love.Not even finding a parking spot directly in front of your destination in Manhattan (which, frankly, deserves its own religion). I’m talking about that moment. The one where […]
A recent study suggests that musicians experience discomfort differently, both in their bodies and their brains. Apparently, learning an instrument doesn’t just make you interesting at dinner parties; it may actually rewire your relationship to pain. Which is fascinating. And also mildly offensive.
