‘The eye is always caught by light
But shadows have more to say’
Gregory Maguire
Artwork
The Madman’s Window, Larne, Ireland
Oilbar on paper, drawn as its tale was told by Colin Urwin at @storiesatthedge July 2021
I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin' on the seas
Far away from dry land
And it's bitter memories
Castin' out my sweet line
With abandonment and love
No ceiling bearin' down on me
Save the starry sky above
Some songs stay with you always
Fisherman’s blues. The Waterboys.

John o Dreams. Mentioned briefly in Hamlet, was transformed into a mythological sandman character who may sail you down the gentle river of sleep to never return one day by songwriter #BillCaddick in a song that has meaning for so many, including me, his wife.
