Behold, the dreamer cometh, / Come now thereforth / and let us slay him…. / and we shall see / what will become / of his dreams….. This is a picture taken in Newtown recently of a legendary mural that adorns the main throughfare, King street. Its a very old (painted in 1991) illegal bit of street art that has subsequently become an iconic part of the area. A very simple design. The face of Martin Luther King next to a large and now very faded reresentation of the world and under that are the first couple of words from a very famous speech given by Dr King. ’ I have a dream….”Underneath it is a representation of the Aboriginal flag. It was a wonderful speech and its a wonderful and enduring mural. It was painted all that time ago by two people who were both very damaged and maybe even a bit mad at the time. He was on the run from the law for a terrible crime and she had just been abandoned by her husband, leaving her destitute with three tiny children and an imminant eviction. They were both artists and met one day when they were both painting something on the side of a building on the same street. In their mutally recognized despair and confusion they decided to reach inside to somewere really deep and give a gift of themselves to all around in order to stave off the darkness that otherwise would have engulfed them and tumbled them right down into the pits of hell. Not far from where they were was a blank three story wall on the side of building on the main street. Perfect. So less than two weeks after they they had met they painted this great humanist message on the side of this building, knowing full well that they risked imprisonment for defacing the street with this simple but profound message of peace and love. And they poured it out over two days and two nights. Never even signed it but rather gave it as a gift to anyone who could see it for what it really meant. Then walked away in the silence of the night not really expecting much from it. But the people of Newtown took this gift in to their hearts and in the ensuing 18 years it has become one of the best loved and most iconic representations of this amazingly diverse and vibrant community. Almost a sacred symbol of Newtown really. Funny story this one. The artists never made a penny out of it and are not even really know for their own work but sometimes just sometimes one of them reflects on the inanity and shallowness of the artworld and wonders why she bothers and then she remembers that sometimes just sometimes the gift of the spirit moves in her and no matter how hard it all is sometimes …. that it really is worthwhile to give of yourself. That it can make a difference to work from the heart. And that thought helps her get through the next bit of time.

Some things you can hardly believe when you see them. I went to school as a structural engineer, and I have to say I’m amazed this house is standing. I went to some pains to make sure the image is vertical, and it’s definitely pretty close. So yes, that lamppost on the left really is leaning like that. This is just a scene captured while on the back streets of Nallihan in central Anatolia. Sometimes I feel like every door I see has a story behind it worth telling. If you look closely there’s a padlock keeping this one shut. What we’ll probably never know is … why?

Like Walking on a tight rope / or walking on a slack rope / walking on a line / yes a fine line it really is It takes balance, it takes practice – dedication is what it takes / It takes perseverance, it takes belief – faith is what it takes To stay up when the world thinks you’ll come tumbling down / To look ahead when every fibre in your body wants you to look on down / To stay steady and breathe deeply while your stomach’s churning round and round So you stand out from the crowd – never mind the rest / You’re true to who you are – only give of your very best / No-one around to give you directive / You relish the new-found perspective One foot in front of the other / One step at a time / One single breath every time / One moment in time / That’s all it is / That’s really all it takes You balance, you practice – you refine your skills / You live, you experience – you enjoy the thrills / You stretch, you expand – you try something new / You climb, you soar – you enjoy the view Like walking on a tight rope / or walking on a slack rope / walking on a line / yes a fine line it really is It’s your rope / It’s your line / Yes your life is what it really is ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Feet of a street artist balancing across a “slack rope” in Covent Garden, London, UK / Canon EOS 450D
