With your guns & drums ’n’ drums & guns, hur­roo, hur­roo,“ repeated my fac­ul­ties, over ’n’ over, in a barely audi­ble chant that quickly ground to a halt beside the dead man’s body. “With your guns & drums ’n’ drums … Con­tinue read­ing

They Never Will Take Our Sons Again

You don’t belong here,“ emphat­i­cally insisted all my fac­ul­ties. Had I heard them right? Or had I only heard what I wanted to hear? If that were true, I cer­tainly would not have wanted to hear again, that I did … Con­tinue read­ing

That Volcanic Rift between Self & Soul

All of a sud­den, did I find my self walk­ing alone, down some dark, deserted street in that gray, twilit world within, where the light of con­scious­ness is eclipsed by our igno­rance of our­selves. By the time I had walked … Con­tinue read­ing

Naked Truth of Wisdom

In my ecstasy, I real­ize that I’ve just been awak­ened to the dwelling place of the Holy Trin­ity. Imme­di­ately, I recall a line from the Gospel of John (14:23): “Those who love me will be true to my word, and … Con­tinue read­ing

Tide of Resistance

As Fate would have Her way, it was not long before I was pushed over the thresh­old between fan­tasy and real­ity by another aspect of Her­self, Nature. Feel­ing the urgency to defe­cate, one day, I slipped off the mess decks … Con­tinue read­ing

This Underground Resistance

How quickly did Fate reen­ter my life, this time around, by using a third class boil­er­man named Far­ris, who had just been assigned to the mess decks as our new petty offi­cer. For She wasted no time in cre­at­ing fric­tion … Con­tinue read­ing

On the Road Again
