The One Voice

Posted on September 14, 2011 by Sir EJ Drury II

As my head spun round and round, faster ’n’ faster, I got caught up in a whirl­wind of such mag­ni­tude it lifted the ship right out of the water with me cling­ing onto it for dear life. While it dropped … Con­tinue read­ing →

All Aboard!

Posted on September 2, 2011 by Sir EJ Drury II

“All aboard!“ com­manded the con­duc­tor of a catchy lit­tle tune that had popped into my head, as the ship steamed out of Subic Bay, full speed ahead. “This way, sir,“ directed the con­duc­tor, as I stood there not know­ing which … Con­tinue read­ing →

The Real War

Posted on August 29, 2011 by Sir EJ Drury II

In all, those who fell at Subic Bay num­bered about two hun­dred. Though they’d be given another chance, after receiv­ing the anti­dote for the gon­or­rhea they’d all con­tracted back in Olon­gapo, they still lacked any aware­ness of the real war … Con­tinue read­ing →

Unrelenting Heat of the Doldrums

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Sir EJ Drury II

With the dis­ap­pear­ance of my men­tor, was I left behind to suf­fer the unre­lent­ing heat of the dol­drums — that area of both the cere­bral and south­ern hemi­spheres abound­ing in calms, squalls, and light shift­ing winds. At the same time, … Con­tinue read­ing →

That Volcanic Rift between Self & Soul

Posted on January 9, 2011 by Sir EJ Drury II

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 →

Fate of Those Who Live in the Middle

Posted on November 25, 2010 by Sir EJ Drury II

While this expe­ri­ence healed some of the divi­sion in my life, the one involv­ing Kraft only cre­ated more. Why overnight, it rent the ship into two fac­tions, which held so much ani­mos­ity towards each other, you’d have thought we were … Con­tinue read­ing →

Posted on October 15, 2010 by Sir EJ Drury II

“Don’t ya see it, Marty?“ I asked him. “There’s a spirit arisin’ all over this ship to stir up oppo­si­tion to what we’re being asked to do in Viet­nam. Haven’t ya felt it ris­ing up inside of ya like magma … Con­tinue read­ing →

This Underground Resistance

Posted on October 5, 2010 by Sir EJ Drury II

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 →

Yankee Station

Posted on September 2, 2010 by Sir EJ Drury II

In the silence that over­came me as I refixed my gaze upon the stark panorama, which had unfolded before my eyes, I recalled some vague pas­sage from the Gospel of Luke (12:54–57): “When you see a cloud ris­ing in the … Con­tinue read­ing →

The Vagaries of a Melancholy Mood

Posted on August 29, 2010 by Sir EJ Drury II

As the ship steamed relent­lessly south­ward at full speed ahead, the mood of the crew grew con­spic­u­ously more somber. Forced to let go of the fren­zied and orgias­tic plea­sures of a Dionysian hol­i­day in Japan, they unwill­ingly sur­ren­dered them­selves to … Con­tinue read­ing →
