RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: Pontus Pilate’s View of Jesus

“Pilate had awakened, washed, anointed himself with aromatic oil, and was pacing nervously back and forth on the high solarium of his tower. He had never liked this Passover Day. The Jews drunk with their God, would work themselves into a frenzy, come to blows again with the Roman soldiers-and this year another massacre mightContinue reading “RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: Pontus Pilate’s View of Jesus”

RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: The Rabbi Wonders is it Jesus or Satan?

“During all these days and weeks that he had been running behind Jesus, battling to understand who he was, his ramshackle body had completely melted away. Nothing was left now but a sunbaked hide wrapped around bones to which the soul clung and waited. Was this man the Messiah whom God had promised him, orContinue reading “RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: The Rabbi Wonders is it Jesus or Satan?”

RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: ,

“I have not come to bring peace to the world, but a sword. I shall throw discord into the home, the son shall lift his hand against the father, the daughter against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law-for my sake. Whoever follows me abandons all. He that seeks on this earth to save hisContinue reading “RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: ,”

“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 23: Strolling Central Park with John Lennon: Getting Shivers From Chapman

I met John in the lobby of the Dakota for our tour of Central Park. John explained to me the media was constantly on his tail as an ex-Beatle. We had a choice of a few service exits and we slipped out to a bright spring day and headed into the park. John had putContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 23: Strolling Central Park with John Lennon: Getting Shivers From Chapman”

“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 22: My Stint in New York Begins with a John Lennon Friendship

I arrived in New York off my Greyhound bus from Toronto. US immigration tossed off at least half of the Amish on the bus sending them back to Canada. I proceeded to the United Mutations headquarters near the corner of 43rd and Third very close to the United Nations where I met United Mutations representativeContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 22: My Stint in New York Begins with a John Lennon Friendship”

“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 21 Hot Shot Lawyer with The United Mutations in New York City

One night at a favourite bar of mine called Marwin’s on Stanley Street in Montreal I met a couple of lively personalities Squid and Willie Montenez. They claimed to have been from other planets and even other dimensions. Initially I thought they were tripping on too much vodka and mescaline but I recalled that JesusContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 21 Hot Shot Lawyer with The United Mutations in New York City”

“The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous”; Chapter 20 Slavery of the Young Lawyer! Donuts and Orangemen in Toronto

Not being lily white in the province of Ontario, home of Orangemen, a sort of Canadian Ku-Klux-Klan and in the City of Toronto well known for its anti-Greek riots in 1918 I was bypassed by the big Bay Street law firms who failed to realize my wealth and corporate structures I presided over! Their loss.Continue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous”; Chapter 20 Slavery of the Young Lawyer! Donuts and Orangemen in Toronto”

RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: Judas and Jesus

“The redbeard (Judas) growled and bared his teeth like a sheepdog that hears his master’s voice. Head bowed, he turned around and marched heavily over the bridge, talking to himself. He remembered when he roamed the mountains with Barabbas-God bless him-and the other rebels. What an atmosphere of ferocity and freedom. What a splendid leaderContinue reading “RKS Literature: Passage of the Day: Judas and Jesus”

“Travels to a Different Time” : 13September2022: Mr. Handicapped in Nightmare Alley: Thessaloniki and Athens, Greece

The ankle has worsened. Fotini went down for breakfast. I have not eaten in two days. Packed up and limped to the waiting car to Thessaloniki Airport. Again on the wheelchair all the way into the plane. Me and a 90-year-old grandmother hoisted on the plane. Very dispiriting. A smooth 45-minute flight to Athens onContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 13September2022: Mr. Handicapped in Nightmare Alley: Thessaloniki and Athens, Greece”
