Always

Some words carry a kind of gravitational pull, and ‘always’ is one of them. It’s a promise of devotion that stretches beyond the present. ‘Always’ is what we say when we want to reassure ourselves – or someone else.

It’s the promise we make at the altar, the hope that lingers after a goodbye, the ultimate ‘yes’ that we can offer another person.

Some songs celebrate devotion; others admit how fragile “always” can be. But each one holds a spark of hope – that love, in all its forms, can endure.

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.
