The way we damage other people is not always meant, it is not always with a design or purpose, we leave that to politicians and those with the agenda of keeping secrets intact. However, occasionally the damage executed is created by the tsunami of events that wash over us, the knives that are out and the inability to make sense of the world around us; the fear of what we might believe is the absurd, the futile and the meaningless.

The art of the surreal is to draw attention to the sense of the off balance that we feel when we stop to look at the world from a position of standing still, to make us do more than think, but to accept that all we may have put faith in may be wrong, that we have forgotten to stop blindly accepting, that we don’t know how to communicate with someone with different ideas without starting a fight; to consent to the fantastic and weird is the best possible course of action that humanity can do.

How you convey the meaning of a word is important, equally just as significant is the way it appears in the body of a text, in the application of pen to paper, or in the semi glow of the computer screen; the misuse of a line full of capital letters can lead to distress to the modern eye, confrontational, hostile, it may have been unintentional, a slip of the fingers and then not bothering to change because the sender knew what it meant…but to the recipient it feels as if they are put in the eye of someone else’s storm, and the defence mechanism kicks in.

Ballet divides opinion, but the dance never should. The ability to break, to smash the conventional is a right that few of us find the true appetite for, we may talk of revolution across every sphere and subject, but in the end we hold on, almost by our fingernails, kicking and screaming, to the orthodox and the dogma of the traditional.

If a picture can paint a thousand words, then London is righty considered a canvas that keeps inspiring, an image of forever change and the backdrop to an ever evolving mixture of oils and a representation of life that is both a textured reflection and despairing copy of its once genius self and the back drop to a million hopeless dreams.

Authentic thought in the hands of the misplaced judgement of the radical, is a dream that they perceive to be a realistic and proper, never once conceding that their words, deeds and actions are the result of stolen ideas, of plagiarised misjudged steps; some may call it revolutionary, others deem it avant-garde to speak the sentence uttered by others but with a more flourished tongue and convincing attitude.

It is perhaps out of habit that we think of love as one created and owned by teenagers, the image of Romeo and Juliet declaring to the world, albeit with a sense of unnerving non-appropriate behaviour with consideration to their age, that their love is timeless, their love is written in the stars and cannot be contained.

In the small corners of the society we live in, there are stories of the old ways that have persisted, overcoming the likes of religious dogma, the sense of so- called Christian integrity that have gained a foothold on the country’s psyche, the Calvinist ethic, the Methodist belief, the Catholic doctrine, all shrouded in the rituals and observance that allows in many ways the rampaging evil of Capitalism to stoke the furnaces and lay waste to millions of people’s souls every year.

Our childhood memories are made of the real and the imagined and quite often the lines of both worlds are blurred, become merged with each other, what we believe we may have experienced, what we may have seen, is something we may be told later by well-meaning relatives, that didn’t happen, or imagination out-ran our senses. That the snarling Wolf we followed one day through a thick and unnerving forest, was in actual fact a small puppy caught in the brambles and small thicket that was on the other side of the fence, just a few feet from the bottom of the garden.

The future is a manner of all possibilities perhaps forgotten, the imaginations of some of the greatest minds in literature having spelled out utopia and dystopia in equal measure, the threat of alien incursion, of disease, of technology gone awry a finer spark on the human soul it seems than the chance of peace and harmony across the world and the Universe beyond. Utopia is a cradle in which boredom festers, the human mind finds ways to look upon this sanitised creation and knows that it is an unrealistic venture, better to try and create a space in the disarray and confusion, the one bright spot in a world of darkness; it is after all why films such as Blade Runner, The Terminator, 2001 A Space Odyssey and Alien sell more than the idea of overall tranquillity.
