Your life, in pictures,
is a reminder
of how I feel about You.
You are beside
My working desk,
You overlook me,
as I stretch and yawn
in the middle of the night, you
as a child
when I had to leave,
You
as an adult that has made me afraid…
Your presence
has filled me with love,
and it has driven me
to question, to anger, to fear…
I miss you always,

What do we see when we investigate the heart of the darkened woods? Some will see fear, the conjuring in their minds of creatures that are base like, driven by primal urges, a place where ghosts and demons, witches and hermits make their play with human kind, and others, they see beauty, they feel the peace that the shade provides, and it is no wonder that these two dividing opinions are at the heart of centuries old traditions and folk lore, tales that inspire, and frighten in equal measure.

Every armchair detective lives In Sherlock’s Shadow, we might beat Morse to naming the murderer, we could expose the criminality and corruption quicker than Poirot, the insurmountable Miss Jane Marple, or the devilishly understated Columbo, but compared to Sherlock Holmes we live in cramped tiny houses that act as minds, we are hemmed in by our own conduct and appreciation of the darker forces that are involved in the underworld, the far reaching tentacles of crime that never ceases to be operational, that never sleeps in search of control.

We spend the vast majority of our lives running from a past that is willing to be patient, cruel enough to let us run, hitchhike, Ride, our way ahead and then slowly, surely, and with fierce grinning teeth, whisper down our ears that it there, right behind us once more, waiting for us to stop and give into the inevitable.

There can be no doubting the cultural impact that legendary British Progressive Rock Giants Genesis have had on the conscious of the nation and the wider world, the exuberance of performance maintained in the early days of shifting the focus on to visual aid and story-telling and through to the final glory in 2008, and the trip down memory lane in 2022, all lights, camera, action, and spellbound audiences wishing to live just for a while in the core of a genre they helped shape and illuminate.

The Slow Life is one of virtuous content, and one that we dismiss the offer of living to our detriment and to our downfall; for life may be one of continual excitement if we live it in the fast lane, only using our homes as a place to lay our heads, barely making a connection with anything that houses our memories, our thoughts scattered to the winds, our dreams uncontained because we have not taken the proper time and consideration to believe they can be allowed to roam and not tethered by societal demands.

You can dip in and out of an album at will, arguably it is the one art form that you can entertain the idea of the listener dictating of how it is to be visualised in their minds without causing a fuss; but like a painting by Constable, a French cinema examination of a woman’s life in the shadows, or series of novels where the heroics and pain are entwinned with each page being read in the right order, so an album should truly be held in esteem enough to never question the integrity and thought of the musician who asks of you a simple request…listen to how the album plays out in the mind of its creator at all times.

The world created by John Wyndham deserves the praise he achieved in his lifetime, and the respect he has posthumously garnered and maintained in the decades since his passing in 1969.

That favourite toy, perhaps a stuffed yellow bear with a crooked smile and limp left foot from where it has been flicked absentmindedly for years, never leaves you, it never truly leaves your memories of times when life was simpler than you ever gave it credit for, when the pleasure of even sitting with something precious in your arms was taken for granted.
