Historical setting: A Dark Age in La Coruña The public stable is just where I supposed it. Nic assumed my memory had not failed. “We will need two sturdy mounts.” The dark-eyed child caring for the horse seems vacant. Perhaps he’s not used to the vernacular. I know this part of Hispania wasContinue reading “Post #11.2, Wednesday, August 5, 2020”

Post #11.1, Tuesday, August 4, 2020
Historical setting: Maybe 6th century, off the coast of Galleacia Maybe Nic has the same worry. What if we land here in La Coruña and I still have no memory of place or time. And all I know is I’m looking for a wife with yellow hair who might be waiting for me somewhere. WatchingContinue reading “Post #11.1, Tuesday, August 4, 2020”

Historical setting: 563 CE, in sight of Iberia Nic asks, “So which version of God assigned me to be a patron to a scrambled minded Jew? I wonder. Am I stuck with you because God teaches us by using fierce and horrific punishments for all my innocent years of listening to a heretic priest,Continue reading “Post #10.14, Thursday, July 30, 2020”

Historical setting: 563 CE, on the Bay of Contabria (Biscay) Nic asks me, “Did you ever hear the poem about God, like the good shepherd who leads us beside the still waters and restores thirsty souls?” “Yes, of course! That’s a Psalm! And you know that also?” “Yes, Brother Lazarus, I learnedContinue reading “Post #10.13, Wednesday, July 29, 2020”
Post #10.12, Tuesday, July 28, 2020
Historical setting: 563 CE, on the Bay of Contabria (Biscay) After a gaping silence after explaining who I really am and that I actually saw the execution of Jesus, Nic offers his thoughts. “If you wanted me to believe all that stuff about the bible story you could have said it better. YouContinue reading “Post #10.12, Tuesday, July 28, 2020”

Historical setting: 563 CE, on the Bay of Contabria (Biscay) “Please hear me out Nic. The Sadducees were once the sect of the priests of the Temple. Caiaphas was the High Priest that year. Caiaphas was a Sadducee.” “They were The Jews.” “Yes, Nic, that’s what the Roman’s called the Sadducees: ‘TheContinue reading “Post #10.11, Thursday, July 23, 2020”
Post #10.10, Wednesday, July 22, 2020
Historical setting: 563 CE, on the Bay of Contabria I need to tell Nic my whole secret of who I am, that I was actually a witness to the killing of Jesus. He needs to understand. I’m sure if I explain it all, he will loose his irrational fear of me. “So Nic,Continue reading “Post #10.10, Wednesday, July 22, 2020”
Post #10.9, Tuesday, July 21, 2020
Historical setting: 563 CE, on the Bay of Contabria (Biscay) Nic and I are exploring our deep hurts and differences. This ship is too small for a war, and with these calming easterlies we could be face-to-face for a very long journey. I’ve asked Nic to explain why he thinks Jews have horns. AndContinue reading “Post #10.9, Tuesday, July 21, 2020”
Post #10.8, Thursday, July 16, 2020
Historical setting: 563 CE, on the Bay of Contabria (Biscay) Nic is still burning over my failure to assure everyone I’m not a Jew. If that is what is needed to make peace, it isn’t peace. But he brings all his hurt and pain begging me. Regardless of what his friends think he still wantsContinue reading “Post #10.8, Thursday, July 16, 2020”
Post #10.7, Wednesday, July 15, 2020
Historical setting: 563 C.E., on the western shore of Gaul Nic hands me his dagger before he slumps into a faint. I hoist him onto my shoulder, iron shirt and all, and I’m handed his sword and girdle from the heap at the entrance as I leave. It’s not a long heft toContinue reading “Post #10.7, Wednesday, July 15, 2020”
