I am spending the night out on the bow of the ATLAS. Skies are relatively clear and a bright moon is now present. As we near Taiwan the traffic is starting to increase and we should see fishing boats in the early A.M. Tomorrow, I will write my sister a letter and have it mailed…
My thoughts are drawn toward my two closest brothers. I find it enlightening that upon my last encounter with each, one was to tear me down and the other was to show me the face of his aggravation. One professes that Thou art god, while he revels in worldly hedonism, while the other believes in…
After receiving inspiration last night on the consumption of food, this morning the steward delivered a full box of butter cookies. It always seems that when I stand upon firm ground, the tempter offers the sweetest deal. For example, when I had decided to follow the spiritual path and forsake the worldly life, I was…

After a sunny morning, we actually got a small shower at dinner time and the day was partly cloudy. The days keep getting warmer as we head for Taiwan and the 2nd mate said that it should continue until the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. The ship’s interior is kept at a very cool…
