After 'Religion' last issue, I find my faith in Ovi stronger than ever and it is leading Thanos and I into temptation. We want Ovi to provide us with our daily bread, we want to forgive those who trespass against us, but it will take more than a verse or two from the good book.

This editorial opening would have been perfect for issue nine, yet issue ten features the topic of 'Time'. Personally, writing about religion was far easier than jotting down my thoughts on time because it is such a slippery subject with little definition. Time is an ambiguous fellow, whether philosophically, astrologically or chronologically, but we set ourselves the challenge and we must live up to its demands…or just ignore it and write what we want.

Once again, we are joined by a number of guests and they have each completed a sterling job writing, drawing or composing; it seems they have taken Ovi's Ten Commandments to heart. How can you not take this magazine to heart? We have given so much of our souls to this project that we are emotionally void for the days after each new issue appears online.

Ten issues, ten voids and every single one worth it. Our style has developed over the year, the site has begun the long-awaited change to single frame and it will continue to improve, until you are pouring your soul into Ovi too.

If you don't know by now, Ovi is Finnish for 'door' and issue ten takes us on the 'Door-ometer' to 10 Downing Street. We are strange here at Ovi Magazine but that is why you like us and we like you, in return…for Ovi is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
