Sojourn In Palestine (Welcome To Palestine!) by Alfred N.Muggins : Part 3
Image:
Alfred has finally released Part 3 of his Three Wise Men Saga, which earlier parts were posted around Christmas 2024 and January 2025. He has been working on it occasionally, wondering if it might go in different directions. Part 4 will be released very soon now as well. Melchior 'magically' finds freedom from the Israelis in modern Palestine, and rejoins his distinguished colleagues in their 'rerooted to the modern middle east' search for the Messiah (saviour!)!

Posted on Tue, 20 Apr 2021
There is a nice feeling to this poem. It almost makes me wish I had been a bit older in 1970 and could remember it better! But youth can be at any time. All of us experience these moments when we are free, or optimistic, carefree.

Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2026
In my story the second/or next coming has been curtailed by pure barbarism. I hope right wing Israelis might draw some lessons from that, but I don't suppose any of them will ever get to read this. I think I might have seen the Louis Theroux...

Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2026
Thanks Di for reiterating that point. I think I was driving at that idea, that the modern Holy Land is actually more dangerous and more deadly than the one of Herod and Pontius Pilate, Jesus Christ and the Three Wise Men/Kings. In the modern...

Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2026
Certainly the attempt to place a new Jesus/messiah into the Holy Land in 2024 appears to have failed completely. Israel appears to have made it a very child unfriendly place! I can't imagine that just a few years before Israel would have been...

Posted on Mon, 27 Jul 2026
I have the feeling that Biden tried to heal or unite Americans, by compromising and buiding. He was quite a safe pair of hands, with a capable administration. As we now know he was too soft on the January 6th rioters, although he did send plenty...

Posted on Mon, 08 Jun 2026
That may well be part of his off and on threats, a design to hurt China. He really doesn't behave like any sensible/normal politician wanting to clinch some kind of deal. Everything he does is overreacting or underreacting, hot or cold. It all...

Never has such an unnecessary and counterproductive war been waged by such an important nation?! They didn't seem to think they would need to negotiate with anyone from Iran, but they lost the war and found themselves having to negotiate to...

Posted on Sun, 12 Apr 2026
This was great! You had me laughing as soon as you mentioned 'dynamic pricing'! And even more when I found the human workers had been replaced by robots. You dealt with all these speculative issues really well. As we enter our Brave New World,...

Very vivid. As I often do with your writing I see it as a film, swapping between scenes, for emphasis, and build up. The husband ready to join his 'eternal' train, the wife unaware, then left behind, but she will join him one day. It reminds me...
