A sleight of hand always captivates the audience, their faces caught somewhere between incredulity and amazement, the wonder of how the penny drops as they conclude how the trick was conducted right in front of them, whilst all the time believing they could not be caught out, that they were alert to every possibility that could occur.

There is beauty in regret, there is serenity in empathy, and without either, without experiencing the pang, the fear of losing your soul to outside influences, and yet finding that you require those forces to demand change, to seek assurance that the world can be a better place if we all pull in the same direction, then we are doomed to be forever mournful of the path that we took but which was least resisted.

The promise that humanity will never have to face the flood again seems to be fading, the last sign of an uncaring world has been played out, and we are all to blame; what is needed is a miracle, the appearance, the remainder that we are here to care and to appreciate each more than we have been led to believe is possible by those who wear suits to meetings and make every detail depend on cost and value. What is needed in these dark times, is a Double Rainbow, the extra assurance supplied by each person that if we must flood, then it is not by our own hands that the waters and tears overwhelm us.

Not everybody has a story about Harlem, even those that live in the boroughs that surround the old Dutch enclave arguably, unless they are in the know and understand the delicate balance of life and the beauty contained within, find themselves more drawn to the dreams of excess in Manhattan and the outer reaches of New York City. Yet if you find yourself there, if you raise a smile in the direction of all, the stories you hear are amongst the most urgent, most stimulating and sincere you are likely to hear.

The hipster will always find a way to extol the virtue of their own brief encounter with whatever is current, whatever shines like an exploding meteorite caught on camera and they will ignore, often to their peril, the beauty, the rage, the innocent and the demanding as they search in vain for that which reflects the way they perceive they are looked upon.

There are some jobs that feel as though they are built for the romantic, for the notion of what being alone with your thoughts can do, and the impact it will have on your soul; time apart from the rest of humanity, time spent with just yourself in command and with nothing to worry about except perhaps the demons waiting in the dark.

The Doctor, no matter who plays the titular role of the long running B.B.C. science fiction programme, is always best observed when the element of humour is gradually replaced by the fear of the unknown, when the adversary actually is represented as the darker side of humanity to which the audience, in its role of observer, is taken to its pinnacle of emotional bond.

The secret kept behind closed doors is the one that can either bring a family together, or break it, completely fracture it to the point where the joints will never be truly aligned once more. Whilst television normally glorifies in the fall out of such family despair, whilst film praises the pain in family disfunction, what cannot be argued with is how resilience and love can make for a finer interpretation of what family means, that even in the darkest moment, Love’s Great Adventure is there to prove that drama is only a side show to a truth of expression that is forgiveness and battling the enemies at the gate together.
