Minbari Mondays, Divided Loyalties and Who Are We?

       This week’s report, in our year 2259 CE, sent to us from our future by Ranger Mayann, writing to us from Minbar, where she is stationed:

—

Greetings, from Tuzanor:

        This incident takes place from 24 November 2nd, through December 1st, of your year 2259.  My order, on your Mars colony, lost members in the task of getting a message to your Babylon station.  The message was that we may not always know who we really are.

 

The Eye on Minbar section of your periodical, and your Captain teaching Delenn new and colorful vocabulary allow them to bond, in the early steps of their coming closeness.  And, each learns more of who the other really is.  From gathering needed intelligence proactively, as she does, to the colorful language that he uses, each is surprised by the other.

 

Delenn took charge of acting on our message, as the initial protector of your telepath, Lyta, the one most badly used, in the end.  But that will come out, in the end.  On the matter of self-knowledge, Delenn is nearest.

Stayed on Freedom’s Call
(free: https://archive.org/details/StayedOnF…)
includes two ‘imagination-rich’ walking tours, with songs, of Washington, DC. New interviews and research are woven into stories of old struggles shared by both the Jewish and African-American communities in the capital city.

Shared histories are explored from a new perspective of cultural parallels and parallel institution-building which brought the two communities together culturally and historically.

Please leave a review, if you can, on the GoodReads page.
