I have not left, nor have I stayed.
The Otherworld has taken me.
I’ve slipped between the cracks we made;

I have not left nor have I stayed.
The Otherworld has taken me.
Burning Bush. A culture of bioluminescent bacteria turns dark when deprived of oxygen. A plant is placed into such a culture & light shone at it.The light is turned off & the bacteria produce light again where they come into contact with the oxygen produced by photosynthesis

#Brexit
Whenever we design a system we impose a power structure. We grant some rights and options and take away others through the choices we make. Advocate for the people not in the room.

UNDERTAKER (Anagrammed Lines)
God removes his skull and folds it neatly by the stream.
