It is you that counts,
not your status or your rank;
you for you alone.

Standing out alone
in understated grandeur.
Most will walk on by.

5. Stokes Croft, Canteen (1)
Breakdancing Jesus is a huge mural on one of the most desirable walls in Bristol. The work was commissioned by the Canteen and completed in June 2013.
The artist, Cosmo Sarson, is a painter from London, who was inspired by his love of breakdancing and witnessing some breakdancers performing for the Pope.
It is a really striking and challenging mural, and I love it. You might also just spot a small blue disc to the left of the mural which commemorates the Bristol riots in the area in April 1980.
It is opposite the famous Banksy ‘Mild Mild West’ mural. This mural was planned to remain for two years, which means that it may not be there much longer. We’ll see.

Love you
An untold story;
a gift of love? or maybe
an apology.

A bicycle I saw exactly a year ago on a street in Bristol.
4. Redland Station
Another mural by Cheo, that I have never really paid too much attention to, despite seeing it frequently.
This piece, which includes his signature bees, can be found on the end wall of the garages, at the entrance to the station. It is a cheerful, rural theme.
Dragonfly
Relic from Earth’s youth
bathing in afternoon sun.
Fleeting adulthood.

Allotment time
Here my breathing slows
until no air passes through;
place and mind are one.

I sat in this overgrown corner of my allotment doing a butterfly survey this afternoon. My heart rate slowed and I caught myself not even breathing. So calm and peaceful.
