The Verres Letter

By Roy E. Edwards

I am by naturea thief...I steal to order.I amassed wealth beyond dreams of avarice.And then Felix the god of luck and cunning, the god of thieves deserted me. Imade a terrible mistake and my dearest friends were slaughtered like stunnedbulls, sacrifice to Mithras: Nor did the consequence of my mistake end withtheir deaths. My life and the life of all those I held dear fell down in ruin. Deathsnapped at my heels. I fled to Egypt and from there set out for Kathmanduwhich was about as far from Rome as I could at that time envisage.Along the dusty road I mourned my friends, the fate of my loved ones: Consequence, I realised too late is a harsh, unforgiving mistress.In Kathmandu I met Jeshua, a gifted healer, a scholar and a wise man. Threeyears later Jeshua gave me a sealed, cedar wood cylinder. He said it containedhis testament. He asked me to carry it to the very edge of Empire. To Britain, a cool, green isle of drifting rain, of changing skies and soft, mellow sunlight.I never left the isle.As for Jeshua's testament?Jeshua, the one the Good Abbot calls Jesu
