It's a nice place, the people were lovely there

• the current state of the world
• and what my role is in trying to make the world a (even slightly) better place

Pardon me, if that comes over as a bit grandiose.

But seeing the horrific state of the world that we live in, makes me wonder, if we are all one people, then if each of us tries to do one thing, whatever it may be, each day to make the world a better place then surely that is worth doing.

Yesterday I went to the London Peace march for Palestine.

Despite the best efforts of our government and the far right trying to maar the day and call it all sorts of awful and inaccurate names, it was actually a peaceful and safe day.

So many people from all different backgrounds, ethnicities, beliefs, social classes, young and old were there - all in harmony, asking for peace.  

Nearby to us was this walking musical troop, you'll see all sorts of different people coming together - the kind of thing that the BBC, CNN or Fox would never show.  

Towards the end of the video you can hear of what the crowd thinks of the political elite in this country - via the medium of football chants.  

So it got me to thinking what is it that each of us can do to make the world a better place?

For me, it is story telling, in the form of making comic books.  

Art and stories have had the power to change the world over the period of history - there I go again with more grandiose statements.

But whatever we can do, on whatever scale that be, I think it's worth trying.  

Indie comics and films can tell stories that the mainstream can't and (for many reasons) simply won't.  

I'm hoping to double down and write more, produce more and launch more comic books.  It may not change the world, but even changing the world in a small way is worthwhile doing.

Whatever your talent is, I encourage you to please use it.

Don't underestimate yourself, the world needs you and your voice and your talents.

Until next time, I hope you and yours are well.

Love and peace.
