You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future

“No More Houses On Cardinal Lane” by my dear friend Bob Cheevers. He wrote this song immediately after the Texas fires this year in 20 minutes. This video shows the devastation left in the wake of the fires on just one street.

A group art exhibition at the Merton Priory archaeological site,
Colliers Wood, London: 8, 9 and 15, 16 October 2011
The Chapter House ruins, once part of the massive and historically important Merton Priory (destroyed by Henry VIII), are the site of an exhibition of contemporary art during the first Merton Arts Trail this October.
Curators Sue Evans and Wendy Bliss have chosen ten recent graduates, mainly from Wimbledon College of Art, who will be showing work made in response to the heritage site. Steeped in history, the many artifacts found during various excavations of the Chapter House over time, have been catalogued and stored in the archives of the Museum of London. Some of these will be on display during the exhibition, being aired for the first time in many years, as the artists have chosen one or more to support their artwork installations.
Participating artists are Robert Aldous, Jane Bailey, Wendy Bliss, Sue Evans, Maxwell Flood, Fiona Leighton-Crawford, Fiona Long, Helen Newhouse, Maxine Pringle and Chris Rowe.
If we could destroy custom at a blow and see the stars as a child sees them, we should need no other apocalypse.

Went to see this brilliant play last night. Not quite post apocalyptic….pre or during the apocalypse perhaps? The audience sat inside the stage set and were even led through different scenes. It was a real experience which was exciting and almost scary, especially when they turned the lights out. So darkly humorous, you’re almost afraid to laugh…but you still do…
