What does it mean in these days of the divided nation that we can find hopeful common ground, that we might be able to travel across the country and find hope in what the words From Here might mean, a loaded question perhaps but one that is found to be full of conversation, of a meaning that some might understand if they travelled beyond the end of their roads and narrow minded cul-de-sacs.

In the cultivated lawns and gardens that surround many a stately home, or even in the hard-earned and worked back yards of many a town’s terraced houses up and down the country, the sight of a well-kept lawn is perhaps a singular pleasure that is hard to replicate, the perfect haphazard inspired rockery, an allotment that produces a household’s requirements rather than giving in to the superficiality of giving in to the large, uncaring supermarkets, all that comes with this air of order is the gratification one receives from seeing The Wildest Rose take root and flower, blossom above all else that may sit and stare at the sun for warmth and growth.

Out of the resignation of accepted and self-registered failure comes strength and virtue, the realisation that fail does not mean crash out of the dreams you hold, but instead is the accepted truth that to fail means, as many a scholar will be told be their academic masters, it is The First Attempt In Learning.

Another life, we all claim it as the ultimate reset, the chance to do over from all that we have endured and perhaps taken part in, and atone in some way, or at least see Another World in which we are the hero, in which we are the true player within our story, and with that tentative but hopefully confident, step into different territory we might find a way to create an alternative version of ourselves, even if it just a slight variance in how people see and respond to us.

The poet only insists on capturing the thought and the scene before them, any music that is laid down afterwards is not in their hands at the time when the image presents itself, when the feeling of absolute opens up before them and the setting in which they exist hears nothing but solitude and wonder.

The Bodacious Balalaika Band, Threshold 2019. photograph by Ian D. Hall.
You have to go a fair distance to find yourself in Runcorn, it is not just a case of crossing a bridge out of the country of Merseyside, it is the will to hear something new and unusual and then think back to that the moment in just a few short years and see how influential it was. The first airing of the Russian instrument the balalaika, that debut moment when the astonishing aspect of power that three strings can bring to your soul, to fish in the waters of a memory that delighted you and now makes you completely hooked and wanting more.

Camilla Sky at the Baltic Triangle’s 92 Degrees. Photograph by Ian D. Hall.
Above us there is only sky, if the songwriter is to be believed, and yet down to Earth Sky exists in harmony with her surroundings, the gentleness of a voice that is not afraid to conquer, to soar and float as if possessed by a butterfly caught on the breath of the wind but who can control the path of a hurricane, a Sky that can illuminate their surroundings must be praised for the beauty it reveals.

When the lid to Pandora’s Box was ripped open, the hinges almost groaning with delight as all the evils of the world came storming out, chasing down humanity with thoughtless plagues and the possibility of soul-minded destruction, nobody paid heed to what came fluttering lazily out after Hope had been urged to rescue the minds of all, the almost burned-out wings that carried the act of the live action remake, the guise in which imagination is lauded but in which sits unhappily reflecting upon the demise of the searing height of new imaginations being allowed to take hold.

It is only in recent times that we have urged survivors to talk about the events they have witnessed, whether in terms of clarification so that disasters, tragedies and acts of systematic neglect in terms of safety and the general public can be assessed and never, hopefully, happen again, or so that those same people who saw the catastrophe take place can ease their burden, have the weight and sense of guilt of history taken from their blameless shoulders, start the long journey back to hopeful recovery; never realising that the nightmares perhaps stay with them at each anniversary, each memory that went before analysed and examined, The Bottleneck of emotions that cannot be contained.
