Steve Manchester ~ A Letter of Encouragement

Some Letters remain timeless, testament to a period or event or upheaval of history. This 2012 letter by email from Steve of Manchester is one such. It stands as true today in 2026 as it did in 2012.

Joyce’s hand inches inexorably to departure
the curious soothing hum of rocket engines lying horizontal
a heartbeat of anticipation, new lives, a new world departing, an old world closing.

The Wives of Potiphar and Pilate

Pilate’s wife was troubled by dreams … she implored her husband have nothing to do with this man for he is innocent.

In this depiction, Pilate’s wife recalls the image of the wife of Potiphar in her dream and the plight of another innocent man, so the tale goes, over a thousand years earlier … …

Ukraine Battlefront ~ somewhere in Ukraine ~ 27 May 2023

Who would have guessed what America would do in 2025? History will judge America with a harshness and ferocity that its benighted people do not comprehend. Such stupid, narrow-minded, arrogant people. In just 104 days it has become a one party state totally out of step with Europe and the English-speaking-Peoples. An outlaw to itself, enshrined in the Alcatraz reincarnation. An autocracy that is heading at breakneck speed to a full dictatorship. Executive Order? No. Rule by Presidential Decree.

Written on 19 January 2014, it is sometimes fun to just imagine conversations that have taken place or that might take place in some ethereal setting.

It is pure indulgence. Writers do this all the time!
