Nothing stays the same for ever. This is not always a bad thing because it means that everything is fluid and changing, nothing is fixed. Just as a shadow seems to cast its darkness over us all, so too light will come and expose the shadow's immateriality for what it is - nothing. A mere bogeyman, the smoke reflected in a mirror. There will always be times when we can step out of the shade and into our own light. Of course, this way of thinking could be analogous to many things; the dark state of global politics right now, the doomsday clock moving one second closer to midnight, from nineteen to eighteen, and a general feeling of hopelessness as it seems the light will never come. Surely we are all desperate for sunlight to stream in to cob-webbed corners and into corrupted corridors of power? I know I am. Change is both good and bad, depending on how you view it. At QSS, we are facing change in 2025. Another move looms on the horizon. I thought about this earlier when I stood on the roof of our studios, looking at the view over East Belfast towards the shipyard and Cave Hill. It's winter and it's cold; but it is also bright and sunny. I chose to stand in that sunlight and imagine change as a good thing; a move into the light. I hope, wherever you are, the sun is shining.
