Truly Twisted

IMG_3001 (2).JPG

Twisted things get a bad rap mostly.

If you twist the truth, you lie, and that is not generally a good thing.

Except we often don’t want to call a lie out for what it is sometimes.

So a liar ‘gilds the lily’, is ‘economic with the truth’ or just ‘a little disingenuous.’

A twist on a twist, as it were.

Snakes are twisty, sorta unloved and often deadly.

Actual twisters are beautiful , but wreak havoc and destruction in their paths.

‘Twists of fate’ are random and unpredictable.

Truth is ,we are all twisted in some way.

Biologically. Socially. Environmentally. Psychologically. Intellectually.

That just comes with being human.

However, being twisted does not prevent a spiral staircase; a double helix; a rope; or a vine, being purposeful, strong and creative.

I’ll leave it to you to add your own twist to things…

Glittering Cage

Awesome caged chandelier light in the foyer of my workplace.

A design of opposites.

Light, imprisoned.

Chains and their shadows cast by luminescence.

This seems to be some sort of interior design thing at the  moment, but to me it symbolises the great universal struggle.

Truth and freedom versus lies and subjugation .

It probably is just a light , Andy ,I tell myself – but I will climb the stairs to the office and deal with the legal problems besetting our clients and which are small examples of the big struggle.

And it will be time to try to shine a little light on things…
