Notes on a Cathedral

Cathedrals, with their awe-inspiring grandeur and intricate architecture, represent both the best and the worst aspects of the human condition. On one hand, they stand as testaments to human creativity, ingenuity, and spiritual devotion. But, they can also reflect the darker sides of human nature. Their looming presence in the centre of cities sometimes symbolise the wealth and power amassed by state-sponsored religion.

They feature in a surprising number of songs, so let’s walk through the Narthex into the Nave together.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
